The NB-IoT supports cellular data connectivity for low power devices over a wide area network. NB-IoT supports efficient connectivity for devices with long standby time and high requirements for network connectivity. The NB-IOT data packet has the characteristics that: small data, low frequency. Although the NB-IOT terminal sends small packets, due to the massive deployment of the NB-IOT terminal and the characteristics of the small packets, the packet sending needs to be controlled.
