There are two options for standalone deployment: refarming an existing RAT's
spectrum and using idle spectrum.
Refarming: The spectrum of an existing RAT can be refarmed for NB-IoT,
without affecting the functionality of that RAT. Generally, the GSM spectrum
can be refarmed for NB-IoT. During deployment, a guard band needs to be
reserved between NB-IoT and GSM. The GSM network is then replanned to
minimize the impact of the refarming on GSM services.
Using idle spectrum: Operators may have some nonstandard spectrum
resources that do not meet the requirements of existing RATs. These
resources can be utilized by NB-IoT. To protect the existing RATs from being
affected, sufficient guard bands must be reserved between NB-IoT and the
RATs.
In LTE in-band deployment, NB-IoT is deployed using resource blocks (RBs) within
an existing LTE FDD band.
Uplink positions recommended for NB-IoT are edge RBs. If the PUCCH is
dynamically configured, the first or last RB can be used for NB-IoT. If an edge RB has
been occupied by the LTE FDD PRACH or static PUCCH, it cannot be used for NB-
IoT.
Downlink RB positions available and recommended for NB-IoT are listed in the
following table.
A new S1 interface must be set up for NB-IoT. Two SCTP links can be configured,
one for LTE and the other for NB-IoT.
A new S1 interface can be set up for NB-IoT, or the existing FDD/TDD S1 interface
can be used for NB-IoT.
Two SCTP links can be configured, one for FDD and the other for NB-IoT.
Alternatively, one SCTP link is shared by NB-IoT and FDD/TDD.
• Note:
• When configuring an LBBP, set the Work Mode parameter based on the actual
application scenario.
• When configuring a UBBP, set the Base Band Work Standard parameter to
LTE_FDD or LTE_TDD.

In the SET GTRANSPARA command, when TRANSCFGMODE is set to OLD, the old
transmission configuration model is used. When this parameter is set to NEW, the
new transmission configuration model is used.
In the new transmission model, the binding relationship between the transport layer
and the device model is decoupled. That is, transmission parameters are no longer
associated with physical boards or ports. When planning transmission configuration
data in the new model, you do not need to pay attention to the physical information
about boards.
In the new model, an INTERFACE MO is added at the data link layer to isolate the
upper layers from the physical layer. The new model simplifies operations in
scenarios such as changing transmission boards and changing transmission ports.
In the new model, the IPv4 and IPv6 models are normalized, and the IPv4 and IPv6
configuration objects above the IP layer are combined, which facilitates the extension
of new transmission functions and reduces transmission configuration parameters.
NB-IoT supports only S1 and X2-C (control plane) interfaces. It does not support X2-U
(user plane) interfaces.
If you need to specify BBPs for cells, run the ADD BASEBANDEQM command to add
baseband equipment.
If LTE FDD and NB-IoT share the same EPC and S1 interface, NB-IoT cell
deployment in standalone mode is similar to FDD cell deployment. The main
difference lies in RAT.

When the cell bandwidth is 15 MHz, the parameter value range is 0 to 74. When the
RbRsvMode parameter is set to NB_DEPLOYMENT and the RbRsvType parameter
is set to DOWNLINK_MODE, this parameter must be set to 2, 7, 12, 17, 22, 27, 32, 42,
47, 52, 57, 62, 67, or 72.
When the cell bandwidth is 20 MHz, the parameter value range is 0 to 99. When the
RbRsvMode parameter is set to NB_DEPLOYMENT and the RbRsvType parameter
is set to DOWNLINK_MODE, this parameter must be set to 4, 9, 14, 19, 24, 29, 34, 39,
44, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, or 95.

LTE bandwidths include 10 MHz, 20 MHz, and others. For the 10 MHz bandwidth,
only 9 MHz is used while 0.5 MHz is reserved for protection at each of channel edges.
There is a DC subcarrier in the center of LTE. It has a bandwidth of 15 kHz, with 7.5
kHz on each side.
NB-IoT requires that a center frequency should be an integer multiple of 100 kHz.
