EC-GSM - Extended coverage GSM IoT

•Standard-based Low Power Wide Area technology (long-range, low energy ) •Based on eGPRS •Designed as a high capacity, low complexity cellular system for IoT communications R13 feature: EC-GSMNew single-burst coding schemesBlind Physical Layer Repetitions where bursts are repeated up to 28 times without feedback from remote end New logical channel types (EC-BCCH, EC-PCH, EC-AGC, EC-RACH, ...)New RLC/MAC layer messages for the EC-PDCH communication introduction of eDRX (extended DRX) to allow for PCH listening intervals from minutes up to an hour.  Access                      -           EC-GSM FrequencyBand      -           NarrowBand Range                          -           ~ 15Km Throughput              -           ~ 10Kbps
