5g iot standards

Last updated on 

There were several standards and technologies associated with 5G and the Internet of Things (IoT).

  1. 3GPP Releases:
    • 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) is a collaboration between telecommunications standards organizations. 5G standards are specified in various releases. Releases 15 and 16 are particularly relevant to 5G IoT.
  2. NB-IoT (Narrowband IoT):
    • This is a Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) radio technology standard developed to enable a wide range of devices and services to be connected using cellular telecommunications bands.
  3. LTE-M (LTE for Machines):
    • LTE-M is another LPWAN technology designed for IoT devices. It offers a balance between coverage, data rate, and power consumption.
  4. 5G NR (New Radio):
    • 5G NR is the global standard for a unified air interface for 5G wireless communication. It includes both the non-standalone (NSA) and standalone (SA) architectures.
  5. Edge Computing Standards:
    • While not specific to 5G, edge computing plays a crucial role in the deployment of IoT applications. Relevant standards may include those from organizations like the OpenFog Consortium and the Edge Computing Consortium.
  6. IoT Protocols:
    • Various communication protocols are used in IoT deployments, including MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport), CoAP (Constrained Application Protocol), and others.
  7. OneM2M:
    • OneM2M is a global standards initiative that provides a common platform for IoT devices and applications. It aims to ensure interoperability and security in IoT deployments.
  8. GSMA IoT Security Guidelines:
    • The GSMA (Global System for Mobile Communications Association) has published guidelines for securing IoT devices and services on mobile networks.
