Presentation Transcript

  1. 5G/IoT Technologies for Smart Metering Dr. Kiran Kuchi Professor, IIT HyderAbad

  2. IoT • Not new but markets are here now! • Existed earlier in industrial automation, vending machines, tracking, etc. • Recently markets started increasing drastically • New applications + lower device costs Kiran Kuchi

  3. IoT Market Projection It’s already here! Source: Ericsson Mobility Report, Nov. 2016. Kiran Kuchi

  4. Smart City Metering: Water, Gas & Electricity • Overcome urban challenges using smart, connected services • Quality of services to end users (citizens!) • City -> Cost + resource efficiency gains Source: http://www.gsma.com/iot/smart-cities/ Kiran Kuchi

  5. Electricity Metering Case Study • City wide deployment of NB-IoT Network (2.4 million meters for houses) • Electricity Meter + IoT Comm Module required • $2 Comm Module Image Source: http://www.gsma.com/iot/narrow-band-internet-of-things-nb-iot/ Kiran Kuchi

  6. IoT Network Traffic Image Source: Ericsson Mobility Report, Nov. 2016. Kiran Kuchi

  7. Technology Overview • Long Range Communication Technology • Wireless/Radio Access + Core Network • Cost efficient device (Comm Module < $2) • Sensor, Compute -> Application specific • High connection density Device Components Kiran Kuchi

  8. NB-IoT (Cellular LPWAN) • Software upgrade to existing cellular base stations (already reach every corner of city) • Licensed Spectrum deployment (guaranteed QoS) • Low bit rate (~A few bytes) • Device battery life 10-15 years, 20 dB more coverage than GSM, underground coverage • Massive number of connected devices, up to 1 Million devices/sqkm Image Source: Ericsson Mobility Report, Nov. 2016. Kiran Kuchi

  9. Security and Privacy • One of the major challenges in IoT • Large number of connected devices -> Scaling issues • Initial deployments -> cellular security Embedded SIM with IPv6 Internet security • Privacy issues raising from data collection, sensing, tracking Image Source: https://www.toptal.com/it/are-we-creating-an-insecure-internet-of-things Kiran Kuchi

  10. NB-IoTSoC • WiSig Networks is a 5G wireless startup incubated at IITH • NB-IoTSoC being developed by WiSig and IITH • Mass product in Q2 2020 • Sample board available for testing Kiran Kuchi

  11. Summary • NB-IoT is right around the corner • India Networks will be enabled with NB-IoT in 2020 • To kick start initial deployment/trials • NB-IoT right technology for Electricity meters • Low-cost, long range (20 dB more coverage than GSM) • Up to 1 Million devices/sqKm (GSM not suitable) Kiran Kuchi
