Аннотация:The active implementation of the Internet of Things (IoT) concept has led to an impressive increase in both the number of connected devices and data traffic during past decade. The ever-increasing data traffic, mass connectivity, and network densification introduced by the IoT concept is driving the need for a new resource sharing strategy between traditional cellular mobile devices and IoT devices. The need for resource allocation between traditional cellular subscribers and IoT devices was recently recognized by 3GPP with the ratification of the special “In-band” deployment mode in LTE Rel. 13, which allows to share radio resources between LTE and NB-IoT devices. However, 3GPP does not provide clear or specific guidance on resource allocation. The purpose of this work is to develop and analyze a model for evaluating the efficiency of resource sharing for an LTE network serving jointly traffic generating by LTE and NB-IoT devices. In the article the general principles of the Internet of Things concepts are analyzed. The mobile communication technologies recommended by 3GPP for the implementation of the concepts of the Internet of things are studied. The mathematical model of the LTE network with NB-IoT functions enabled is constructed. The algorithm for calculating quality indicators of the model is evolved.
