CIoT in Mobile Networks
CIoT stands for "Cellular Internet of Things". It is the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and technologies into cellular mobile networks.
CIoT devices have low power consumption, by using technologies like Narrow Band-IoT (NB-IoT), or Enhanced Machine-Type Communication (eMTC). Which enable longer battery life for IoT devices.
Cellular networks are capable of supporting a large number of IoT devices, enabling the deployment of massive IoT applications, such as smart city infrastructure, industrial automation, and asset tracking.
In addition, Cellular networks provide enhanced security features, such as authentication, encryption, and network access control, which are essential for IoT applications

5G Network Slicing
5G Network Slicing means that, to divide the physical network that the operator is having, into different logical networks with different characteristics. Every logical network, is a network slice. And every network slice has different characteristics from the other network slices, so that it can serve a certain type of services accordingly. Every network function…

What is an ‘EPS Bearer’ in LTE ?
During 'LTE attach' procedure, the network establishes this EPS Bearer between the UE and the PGW. The PGW assigns an IP address for this Bearer. The UE uses this IP address, in order to communicate with the PDN. In addition, the PGW assigns a QoS for this Bearer, which guarantees the QoS for the data…

LTE (4G) Network Architecture
LTE (4G) Network Nodes LTE refers to 'Long Term Evolution', and the architecture of the LTE (4G) network is as following, eNodeB The eNodeB is the 4G site that the UE connects to. It provides the radio interface to the UE. MME MME refers to 'Mobility Management Entity'. The MME is responsible for authenticating the…
