Title: Cellular IoT Technologies for Intelligent Networks

Abstract: The Internet of Things is transforming the information and communication technology industry. It embodies the vision of connecting virtually anything to everything and builds on the global growth of the overall number of connected end devices. To support this growth, the 3GPP standards development organization has in its Releases defined communication technologies Narrowband IoT and LTE Cat-M. These technologies provide cellular connectivity for a massive number of IoT devices with stringent requirements in terms of connection density, energy efficiency, reachability, reliability, and latency, leading to massive Machine-Type Communication scenarios. This keynote focuses on performance characteristics, implementation challenges, and specific enhancements required for modern IoT applications, all of which are critical in the context of the ongoing development and deployment of 5G and future 6G networks, especially in case of the energy grids and remote smart metering scenarios.

Dr. Pavel Mašek is an expert in the research area of wireless communication technologies and protocols for industrial Internet of Things. His focus is mainly on the 5G-IoT communication technologies for critical smart-grid infrastructure and Industry 4.0+.
