Abstract
Since emerging fifth generation (5G) wireless network is expected to significantly revolutionize the field of communication, its standardization and design should regard the Internet of Things (IoT) among the main orientations. Long Term Evolution-Machine Type Communication (LTE-MTC/LTE-M) is among the emerging technologies that are promising candidates for 5G wireless network, enabling massive deployment of devices for massive Machine-Type Communication (mMTC). This paper describes LTE-M evolution in recent 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) releases. A complete evaluation of LTE-M performance against 5G massive MTC requirements is presented. The results analysis of this evaluation show that these requirements can be met but under certain conditions regarding the configuration and deployment of the system. The enhancements provided by the recent 3GPP releases are also discussed.
