Abstract
A growing number of connected IoT devices makes
it more and more difficult for the network to provide the desired
reliability in any deployment scenario. The advent of NB-IoT
technology opens new possibilities for low-power long-range IoT
applications. However, the design of the standard introduces high
battery drainage in the situations when the radio conditions
between the UE and the eNB are poor. Device-to-Device (D2D)
communication is considered a promising technology to address
this problem, since D2D makes it possible for the end-devices
to exchange the data without the assistance of the base stations.
In this work, we study how NB-IoT applications in general can
benefit from enabling D2D communication. We focus on assuring
reliability and QoS parametres for critical Internet of Things
(IoT) use cases. We provide an overview of the state-of-the-art
approaches, identify the realisation challenges and highlight the
future research directions.
