UNLICENSED NARROWBAND INTERNET OF THINGS (NB-IOT) OPERATION ON BAND 47B

Abstract:

Technology for a Next Generation NodeB (gNB) configured to operate in an unlicensed narrowband Internet of Things (U-NB-IoT) system is disclosed. The gNB can encode a system information block type 1 (SIB1) for transmission to a user equipment (UE) on band 54. The gNB can perform channel switching from band 54 to a selected sub-channel in band 47b at a selected switching point. The gNB can encode data for transmission to the UE during a data dwell on the selected sub-channel in band 47b.
