Abstract

Due to rapidly growing NB-IoT face new challenges, the traditional SIM card becomes problematic and expensive, or even the SIM card cannot be soldered to the NB-IoT devices. Thus, the embedded SIM (eSIM) is required, and its remote provisioning is needed correspondingly. A remote provisioning strategy with terminals priority and cooperative relay is proposed to enhance NB-IoT reliability. We classified the terminals by using naive Bayesian model. Based on over the air (OTA) technology architecture, we proposed a communication strategy with cooperative relay to ensure the reliability of the system that can effectively reduce the transfer outage probability. Finally, we proposed a decision scheme, and the outage probability of the system can be obtained by Markov chain. The simulation results showed that the remote provisioning strategy with terminals priority and cooperative relay can reduce the outage probability and improve the system throughput.
