Abstract:

To extend the battery life of massive machine type devices (MTD),narrow-band Internet of things (NB-IoT) system extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) mechanism of LTE to the maximum as well as introduced a lower power state named as power saving mode (PSM).Three Markov models were established for three typical NB-IoT traffic scenarios,which called mobile autonomous reporting periodic report (MAR-P),mobile autonomous reporting exception report (MAR-E),software update/reconfiguration (SUR).The states of each Markov model were the working status of MTDs,including connected,idle and PSM state,in which the connected state was divided into random access state and data translating/receiving state to further evaluate the additional power consumption caused by collisions from massive MTDs concurrent access.Thereby,the power consumption and delay models with respect to each traffic scenarios were derived.Since the frequency of MAR-P traffic was far greater than the other two,the battery life of this traffic case with its optimal design choice was comprehensively analyzed.Numerical results show that,the battery life is mostly influenced by transmission period,maximum number of random access attempts,maximum number of data transmissions and traffic load,which can be maximized by appropriate parameters setting up.These works provide good references for NB-IoT device behavior modeling and optimization design.

Key words: narrow-band Internet of things, extended discontinuous reception, Markov chain
