Abstract

Narrow Band Internet of Things (NB-IoT) is one of the drivers of industry 4.0 and the study of its wireless behavior in Indoor industrial environments has become important. This is because of the unfavorable conditions poised to wireless propagation as a result of the presence of heavy-duty equipment and the physical structure of industrial buildings. In this paper, an indoor industry was modeled to present some of the reflective characteristics and its effects on wireless propagation, particularly large-scale fading. The results obtained which include propagation paths, path loss, and impulse response showed how the environment affected the wireless transmission of NB-IoT. However, to mitigate this challenge, a collaborative scheme is introduced to improve the transmission among the affected NB-IoT terminals. The proposed scheme resulted in a collective improvement in path loss value by 30.44%.
