Tiivistelmä
Exploring alternatives to LoRa for their liquid quality monitoring sensor, UROS started investigating narrowband technology. Regardless of the radio technology in use in the sensor, UROS wants to guarantee a specific battery runtime to the users of the device. The objectives of this thesis were to demonstrate how narrowband Internet of Things power saving features affect power consumption and provide guidelines on how to use them properly as well as measurement data to calculate runtime estimations. The work was commissioned by UROS.
All narrowband Internet of Things power saving features have been extensively tested using a Nordic Semiconductor nRF9160 development kit connected to the Finnish mobile network Elisa. Power consumption was recorded using a Qoitech Otii Arc power analyser.
A comprehensive analysis was performed to measure and document the effect of payload size, release assistance indicator, extended discontinuous reception cycle length, paging time window, tracking area update and power saving mode active time on power consumption.
