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.

Universal Tester for Verifying Industrial Internet of Things Communication Modules
Fabulec, Martin ; Paluřík, Pavel (referee) ; Mašek, Pavel (advisor)
The Master thesis is devoted to the verification of a platform for testing communication modules in the context of the Industrial Internet of Things (IoT). The aim is to provide an indepth analysis and comparison of modern Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) and (LTECat-M), and determine their use in different IoT scenarios. Their commonalities are described as well as different parameters. The work includes a detailed investigation and evaluation of the available communnification modules, where the main focus is on their key parameters and differences. The thesis also focuses on the practical aspects of implementing and testing these technologies, the design of the BC660K-GL module and its subsequent functional verification. After functional verification, it was subjected to measurements focused on radio boundary conditions. The thesis opens the door to a better understanding and use of IoT technologies in industry and explores the challenges and opportunities presented by their rapid development.

Implementation of Communication Technology LTE Cat-M1 Utilizing the Network Simulator 3
Drápela, Roman ; Jeřábek, Jan (referee) ; Mašek, Pavel (advisor)
Diploma thesis deals with the implementation of LTE Cat-M1 technology in simulator NS--3 (Network Simulator 3). The theoretical part of the thesis summarizes key terms concerning IoT (Internet of Things), M2M (Machine-to-Machine) communication, LTE (Long Term Evolution) and LPWA (Low-Power Wide Area) networks. The practical part summarizes the possibilities of currently available modules for cellular technologies for NS-3, ie. the LENA module and the subsequent extension of LENA+ and ELENA. Simulation scenarios offer a comparison of LTE/LTE-A and LTE Cat-M1 (also known as eMTC - enhanced Machine Type Communication) technologies for M2M communication. The results of the simulations are well-arranged in the form of graphs and discussed at the end of the thesis.

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.
