IoT Industry and Network Planning Summary

Core Content

The document outlines Huawei's approach to IoT network planning, emphasizing the need for a shift from traditional network-centric planning to application-centric planning to meet the diverse requirements of IoT services. It highlights the opportunities for operators in expanding IoT markets and the challenges they face in adapting their existing networks to support IoT applications effectively.

Main Points

1. IoT Industry Insight

The IoT market is rapidly growing and has entered a phase of standard and systematic construction.
IoT applications are expanding into various industries such as smart cities and logistics.
The market presence of IoT is expected to increase significantly, reaching USD$1700 billion by 2020 with a CAGR of 34%.
IoT services have diverse requirements for network functions, necessitating a new planning methodology.

2. Benefits for Operators

IoT offers operators a long-term strategy for growth, enabling them to tap into new markets and profit from vertical industries.
Operators have competitive advantages in network infrastructure, professional expertise, and services.
They can leverage existing networks to explore new capabilities and provide enhanced user experiences.
Operators are playing a key role in the IoT ecosystem, even before the widespread adoption of 5G.

3. Things Coverage Network Planning Methodology

Huawei proposes the first IoT-oriented network planning methodology called "Things Coverage."
This methodology focuses on providing excellent application experience and maximizing IoT value.
It introduces a 5-dimensional experience definition: Availability, Bandwidth, Coverage, Delay Sensitivity, and Energy Efficiency.

Key Information

3.1 IoT Experience Evaluation Standard

IoT services have different requirements than traditional user-centric services.
Huawei defines a 5-dimensional experience standard for IoT services, which includes:
- Availability: Ensuring service uptime.
- Bandwidth: Supporting varying data rates.
- Coverage: Ensuring connectivity in different environments.
- Delay Sensitivity: Critical for real-time applications.
- Energy Efficiency: Important for battery-powered devices.

3.2 New Characteristics of IoT Network Planning Method

Application-Centric Planning: Focuses on the specific needs of IoT applications rather than just network coverage.
IoT Experience Assurance: Ensures that network planning meets the service requirements and user expectations.
IoT Value Maximization: Identifies high-value areas and supports ROI optimization through precise planning.

3.3 Things Coverage Network Planning Process and Key Technologies

The planning process includes defining IoT requirements, selecting air interfaces and frequency bands, multi-dimensional collaborative planning, and using key technologies for precise planning.
Things Requirement Definition: Based on 5-dimensional experience and specific service models.
Air Interface and Frequency Band Selection: Tailored to different SLA targets and service requirements.
Multi-dimensional Collaborative Planning: Supports planning for multiple service layers, including coverage, capacity, and coordination.
Precise Network Planning Using Key Technologies: Utilizes propagation models, measurement reports, and digital maps to improve planning accuracy.

Network Construction Cases

A case study shows how an operator uses Things Coverage for smart metering.
The planning process includes service provision allocation maps, which help in increasing indoor coverage and extending battery life for smart water meters.

Prospects

Huawei aims to help operators like Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone, China Unicom, and China Telecom implement nationwide IoT network planning.
The Things Coverage solution is expected to transform 1/5 of global base stations to support IoT by 2017.
Huawei will continue to research and improve IoT network planning technologies, including:
- New air interface and frequency band planning.
- Ultra-low latency experience modeling.
- Dynamic resource sharing for multiple services.
- Enhanced positioning precision for IoT applications.
- Big data mining for IoT and MBB network coordination.
The WINS Space platform will enhance IoT planning and evaluation capabilities to support rapid deployment and large-scale network construction.
