‚Communication technologies (5G, NB-IoT) for IoT

Use Cases‘

We offer:

• Complex and highly topical task whose results can be evaluated directly in a research project,

• Topic that is used in practice,

• the possibility of flexible time management and independent working,

• constructive and continuous support through regular feedback loops in the form of on-site

meetings.

LTE, LoRa, NB-IoT, 5G. All these technologies are frequently used in public news papers.

5G is considered a key technology for the realization of Industry 4.0. The highly reliable

communication via 5G enables new applications. Especially in production environments

companies are eager to learn more about 5G and the other technologies. You have to

answer the question: Which communication technology best fits several IoT use cases?

Tasks:

 Create technology profiles of current

communication technologies (5G, LTE,

LoRa, NB-IoT),

 Define communication requirements for

use cases in production environments,

 Describe and define components for

relevant technologies e.g. 5G (Network

slicing, Edge computing, Smart cells,

Massive MIMO, Full duplex),

 Match use case requirement types with

presented technology profiles,

 Provide a application guide line to

implement a company-specific

communication infrastructure.

Qualification / profil:

 Student(s) from the fields of industrial

engineering or mechanical engineering,

data analytics and decision science,

 Independence and reliability,

 careful working methods,

 very good MS-Office and Citavi

knowledge.
