Implementation of the LTE Cat-M Technology for Smart Metering Scenarios
Tamentsev, Viacheslav ; Le, Dinh Thao (referee) ; Mašek, Pavel (advisor)
The Diploma work examines the feasibility of implementing Long-Term Evolution for Machine-Type Communications (LTE Cat-M) communication technology in Network Simulator-3 (NS-3) to provide massive Machine-Type Communication (mMTC). The paper analyzes the capabilities of cellular communication modules in the selected NS-3 simulation tool, including the LTE/EPC Network Simulator (LENA) module. In the theoretical part, it considers Low-Power Wide Area (LPWA) global networking technologies and their applications, including key aspects of the IoT Internet and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications. Special attention is given to analyzing the most common technologies in LPWA networks, such as Sigfox, Low-Power Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN), Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) and Long Term Evolution for Machines (LTE Cat-M). In the practical part, simulation scenarios are created to testing and comparing the performance of legacy LTE/LTE-A networks with focus on mMTC scenarios. The result is the determination that 4G networks are not suitable for these scenarios. Therefore, for such scenarios, the LTE/EPC Network Simulato Narrowband (LENA-NB) module is being used for modifications to the LENA module to meet LTE Cat-M requirements.

Implementation of the LTE Cat-M1 Communication Technology Using the Network Simulator 3
Maslák, Roman ; Možný, Radek (referee) ; Mašek, Pavel (advisor)
The Diploma work deals with the implementation of LTE Cat-M technology in the simulation tool Network Simulator 3 (NS-3). The work describe LPWA technologies and their use cases. In first are described the main parts of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication. Subsequently are described and defined the most used technologies in LPWA networks. Technologies which are used in the LPWA networks are Sigfox, LoRaWAN, Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) and Long Term Evolution for Machines (LTE Cat-M), where LTE Cat-M technology is described in more details. Simulations are simulated in simulation tool NS-3 and use LENA module. In NS 3 tool are simulated Simulations, which give us informations of Network state according to different Network set up. At the end are done changes of Radio Resource Control (RRC) states in NS-3 tool. These changes are required for correct implementation LTE Cat-M technology in NS-3 tool. Then we are able to simulate simulations, which meet to definition of LTE Cat-M technology.
