Abstract

In future remote healthcare monitoring system, it is necessary to constantly monitor the patients physiological parameters. For example, a pregnant woman parameters such as blood pressure and heart rate of the woman and heart rate and movements of fetal to control their health condition. To support the high-intensity and short-lived demands of these emerging applications, Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) is a promising technology that provides long-range communications at a low data rate for sensors with reduced device processing complexity and long battery lifetime. This paper aims to investigate the realistic performance of NB-IoT in terms of effective throughput, patient served per cell and latency in healthcare monitoring system with both in-band and stand-alone deployment.
