Impact of Compression and Small Cell Deployment on NB-IoT Devices Coverage and Energy Consumption with a Realistic Simulation Model
In the last few years, Low-Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN) technologies have been proposed for Machine-Type Communications (MTC). In this paper, we evaluate wireless relay technologies that can improve LPWAN coverage for smart meter communication applications. We provide a realistic coverage analysi...
