This NB-IoT training course is designed for engineers with some knowledge of Satellite Communications, who desire to acquire greater knowledge in the areas of Network Planning, satellite use cases, and technical and regulatory challenges for NB-IoT over Satellite. It offers an understanding of the network deployment opportunities, challenges, and risks that’s needed to exploit and deploy the NB-IoT RAN over satellite in the trend of C-band, from the throughput perspective up to number of IoT devices supported. It combines case studies from both planning and optimization, reviewing the MAC, RLC, PDCP and RRC parameters, timers and procedures.
A thorough analysis follows the corresponding timers from delay perspective trying to emphasize on parameter configurations and performance optimization. Participants will be also exposed to link power budget, propagation delays, free space loss, multiple access techniques and LEO small satellites. The course is supported by proper excel dimensioning (calculator) files for practical exercises and case studies.
