The fundamental features of NB-IoT are its enlarged coverage, data rate, latency and battery lifetime compared to other cellular technologies. These features of NB-IoT manages it very beneficial in the IoT manufacturing, letting the technology to be hired in a vast domain of implementations, like health, smart cities, agriculture, WSNs. The main target of this study is to determine the performance of distinct characteristics of NB-IoT network with reasonable error rates in the uplink and the downlink connections. The performance of the several ways examined to decide their efficiency in relation to the requirements of the IoT industry. Software simulations were used to compare the distinct criteria settings to inspect which choices give better efficiency and cost trade-offs for constructing an NB-IoT network. The results show that data transmitted in smaller Transport Block Size (TBS) has fewer errors than if it has transmitted in greater blocks. Furthermore, the results offer that the error rate gets higher as the Doppler frequency increases in the propagation channel model. The results also show that the error rate gets higher as the modulation and coding scheme field (IMCS) increase. Index Terms—Bit error rate, Narrow Band Internet of Things (NBIoT), doppler frequency I. INTRODUCTION The Internet of Things (IOT) makes up on the conventional Internet’s capability to join world and allows interconnections between people, equipment and daily topics. The core of the IOT is data conception, acquisition, and transmission. Data can be recognized and obtained through smart, monitoring devices and sensor established stations. Gathering appliances extremely enhances functioning efficiency and will make missive public significance. With elastic spreading as well as the potentially to perform Over-the-Air (OTA) program improves, numerous communication agents across the universal widespread NB-IOT to examine its empirical likelihood on various usage conditions with real-life experiments. In paper [1], the author showed that the systematic expressions resemble the simulated ones completely, which confirms the performance of suggested system model and derivations. The task in this paper supplies a Manuscript received August 31, 2021; revised February 18, 2022. doi:10.12720/jcm.17.3.210-215 useful guidance for NB-IoT system deployment and co- existence analysis. In paper [2], the author addressed the Release 13 of the 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) criterion LPWA technology and supply a training on its physical layer (PHY) technique. Particularly, he concentrated on the advantages and the inserting of downlink and uplink physical communication paths at the NB-IoT base station aspect and the user equipment (UE) aspect. In paper [3], the author discussed the NPDCCH time modification and the NB-IoT timetable problem over NB- IoT grids. The purpose is to decrease the expended radio resource. He demonstrated that the timetable problem is NP robust and cannot be estimated with a proportion superior than 3/2. In paper [4], the author offered a fresh coverage extension style named Narrow Band Timing Advance (NB-TA) which can enhance NB-IoT distance coverage over than 35 km, and the practicability of this design was proved by a realistic computation over an ocean medium. In paper [5], the author submitted a hybrid connection modification strategy relied on all three merits, which aims at obtain most appropriate delay and coverage. To realize this, he formulated and resolved an optimization problem that detects the most appropriate value of repetitions, bandwidth and MCS. In paper [6], the implementationof NB-IoT and eMTC is estimated. Hence, bit rate, power dissipation, latency and spectral efficiency are inspected in various coverage cases. In spite of the fact that both technologies employ the identical power conserving methods as well as repetitions to expand the connection area, the examinations exposed a distinct performance in the case of data size, rate and coupling loss. In paper [7], the author prepared a survey of NB-IoT, simultaneously with a numerical pattern of the network fit to forecast the maximum performance in a offered script with a given configuration of some purpose parameters. In paper [8], the author discussed the typical implementations in the smart grid and resolved the compatible feasibility of NB-IoT. Moreover, the performance of NB-IoT in ideal scenarios of the smart grid communication oceans such as urban and rural areas, is closely estimated via Monte Carlo simulations. In paper [9], the author utilized a smart parking lot application as a model to examine the event-triggered Journal of Communications Vol. 17, No. 3, March 2022 ©2022 Journal of Communications 210
