For LTE-M, MME should support e-DRX and paging
For NB-IoT, MME and HSS should support new RAT type and new AVPs
They need to be Rel13 onward compliant
Also there is new 3GPP entity defined called SCEF specifically to support NON-IP data for NB-IoT
I am new to IOT and came across two possible deployment options (Cat M1- eMTC and NB-IOT). I know LTE technology (Radio and Core both) but I could not understand how these options would be integrated with existing LTE network. Please someone put some light on that.
Now and Days, my colleagues talk about LTE-unlicensed known as "LTE-U". Where and what all changes need to be done to support this feature and how it is different from Carrier Aggregation ? If possible, please provide a good reference also.
