mMTC- How do we get this?
Most of the Features are similar to NB- IoT:
• Device Simplicity
• Low Power Consumption
• Long Battery Life
• Deep Coverage (high number of Repetition)

Co-existence of both networks will enable smooth

transition between LTE and 5G IoT capabilities over
time.

URLLC- How do we achieve this?
 Frequent transmission opportunities that
minimize waiting time

 Flexible frame structure allows for flexible

transmission duration (short duration for both
data and control channel)

 Short UE and gNB processing times

 Grant-free (or configured grant) UL

transmission

 More stringent BLER target and MCS tables

for high reliability

 Blind repetitions

Latency components of a DL Transmission  Data duplication on higher layers to ensure

high reliability
