论文摘要
狭窄的物联网（NB-IOT）是第三代合作伙伴项目（3GPP）开发的蜂窝访问技术，可为物联网提供广泛的连通性。自从3GPP版本13引入以来，NB-IOT在几年内实现了出色的市场存在，目前正在近100个国家 /地区提供覆盖范围。为了进一步扩展NB-iot的覆盖范围并连接未连接的，3GPP版本17将研究适应NB-iot以支持非透明网络（NTN）的可行性。在本文中，我们回顾了NB-iot和NTN的基础知识，并解释了如何通过最少的修改来调整NB-iot以支持卫星通信。
The Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) is a cellular access technology developed by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) to provide wide area connectivity for the Internet of Things. Since its introduction in 3GPP Release 13, NB-IoT has in a few years achieved a remarkable market presence and is currently providing coverage in close to 100 countries. To further extend the reach of NB-IoT and to connect the unconnected, 3GPP Release 17 will study the feasibility of adapting NB-IoT to support non-terrestrial networks (NTNs). In this article, we review the fundamentals of NB-IoT and NTN and explain how NB-IoT can be adapted to support satellite communication through a minimal set of modifications.
