Around 2.7 billion devices for Internet of Things (IoT) will be wirelessly connected via cellular network by 2022 according to Machina Research's forecast. A ubiquitous public cellular network that is easy to use, penetrated deeply into almost all locations, and allowed for low cost and low power devices operation, will be of enormous benefit. Narrowband cellular IoT is a very promising low power wide area communication technology to meet the requirement of IoT, and its standardization is expected to be completed by The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) in March to June 2016. In this full project, an IP platform based on narrowband cellular IoT technology will be developed. The IP platform includes RF transceiver, digital baseband and protocol stack. These IPs can be licensed to the industry for capturing the huge IoT market in time. Several key technologies will be developed including integrated CMOS Power Amplifier (PA), high performance Digitally Controlled Crystal Oscillator (DCXO), multiplier-less digital mixer, digital low pass filter with model reduction, highly configurable protocol stack package and etc. Two tapeouts are planned to verify these IPs and key technologies. This project will greatly help Hong Kong to set up a technology leading role in the field of IoT, and create a competitive edge for local IC design houses, IoT solution vendors, OEM and ODM manufacturers.
