This presentation explains the new 3GPP technical specifications for the new 5G Internet of Things (IoT) technology based on latest release which is Release 15. It details the LTE protocol stack of an IoT device, architecture and framework, how they are functioning and communicate with cellular infrastructure, and supported features and capability. NB-IoT is designed to connect a large number of devices in a wide range of application domains forming so-called Internet of Things (IoT). Connected devices are to communicate through cellular infrastructure. This technology is new within the 3GPP specifications and is part of upcoming new wireless technology known as 5G.

Co-sponsored by: Washington State University Everett Electromagnetic reverberation chambers have been used for many years by the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) community to measure the susceptibility and emissions for various electronic components and systems. This presentation describes how statistical processes were used to reduce the uncertainty of these chambers to a level necessary for precision metrology applications. These processes were applied to the calibration of electromagnetic field probes and the assessment of antenna efficiencies. A brief comparison of traditional calibration methods employing transverse electromagnetic (TEM) cells and anechoic chambers to the new statistical reverberant environment will be shown. The presentation also goes on to explain how these techniques were later applied to a wide variety of aircraft measurements. A technique which utilizes two side by side reverberation chambers sharing a common wall with an arbitrary shaped aperture, useful for the assessment of component shielding, will be discussed.  Utilizing this same approach, it is possible to assess the shielding of large structures such as commercial aircraft.  These aircraft shielding measurements are necessary for High Intensity Radiated Field Susceptibility (HIRF) certifications. With the proliferation of wireless devices it is important to understand how they behave in complex electromagnetic environments and how they interact with other devices and systems in which they are collocated . Aircraft environments have been shown to behave similarly to reverberation chambers and therefore these techniques can be employed to study propagation environments and system interactions. This presentation will give examples of how these techniques were employed to measure bulk absorption used to simulate passenger loading of aircraft, field mapping which is useful for the evaluation of signal coverage and channel interference as well as signal propagation characteristics.

Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) offer tremendous potential for increasing the flexibility and resilience of the grid. DERs can help utilities and grid operators to cost-effectively manage electricity demand growth, congestion, power quality, and reserve allocation. DERs can also increase reliability while reducing electricity costs for end consumers. In this presentation we will review typical Behind-The-Meter (BTM) value streams found in DER optimization applications from an aggregator or energy manager perspective. We’ll then discuss practical challenges that arise when deploying real-time optimization in BTM applications and offer insights about how to address those.
