1 Scope p. 8
The present document studies and evaluates the architecture enhancement to support Cellular Internet of Things (CIoT). The scope includes NB-IoT, eMTC, and EC-GSM-IoT.
The study will consider architecture enhancements/simplifications in the following areas:
- Support of authorization of use of Coverage Enhancement functionality;
- Reliable communication service between UE and SCEF;
- Inter-RAT idle mode mobility support for NB-IoT;
- Review existing multicast/broadcast services architecture to ensure suitability for NB-IoT;
- Review existing Location services architecture to ensure suitability for UEs using Control Plane CIoT EPS optimisation;
- QoS differentiation between UEs using control plane EPS CIoT optimizations; and
- CN overload protection for UE supporting control plane EPS CIoT optimizations.
