Abstract

Abstract: In order to clarify the enhanced machine type communications (eMTC) proposed by the third generation partnership project (3GPP), the improvements of eMTC for support of 5G mMTC scenarios were summarized. Key technologies were discussed and analyzed in terms of system cost and complexity, coverage and power consumption. Besides, the main technical enhancements of eMTC in Rel-14 were introduced. Finally, the future development trend for eMTC was also be interpreted and analyzed based on present existing problems.

Key words: enhanced machine type communications, low power, wide coverage, internet of things

CLC Number:
