‘ey NB-loT Features
Gl Idle Mode eDRX
UEs remain in the deep sleep state for a majority of an eDRX paging cycle and monitor the paging
channel only within the range of the Paging Time Window (PTW). This feature helps reduce UE power
consumption and prolong the battery life

NB-loT Coverage Extension
NB-loT provides better coverage than LTE FDD with the help of increased repetitions and power
spectrum density (PSD) increase.
PSD increase
The transmit bandwidth for NB-loT is much smaller than that for LTE FD. Given the same transmit
power, NB-loT can provide a 10.8 dB coverage gain in the uplink compared with LTE FDD.
