Enhanced Machine Type Communication (eMTC)-based Massive Internet of Things (MIoT) use case support for connecting a very large number of devices NB-IoT is for lower data rates and infrequent IoT device communication. eMTC allows higher data rates and more overall throughput, including MIoT use cases in industry domains such as transportation, supply chain and logistics, and even smart agriculture. There were some competing features in NB-IoT and eMTC. In June 2017, 3GPP Rel-15 reached a consensus and resolved those issues. The initial work for NTN started with Release-15 in 3GPP RAN Working Group 1 (WG1) in June 2017. It stated that NTNs will be integral to 5G service deployment by doing the following: Enabling ubiquitous connectivity to public safety and IoT devices where the 5G terrestrial network is lacking 5G and Satellite Communications Adding resistance to natural disaster impact to cell services and towers, such as during earthquakes, fires, hurricanes, flooding, and tsunamis Enabling 5G-RAN connectivity Enabling 5G services in aircraft, hot air balloons, and drones, as well as mid-ocean ships Enabling scenarios that involve terrestrial and in-flight objects These things together help to add a) service ubiquity, b) service continuity, and c) service scalability to 5G networks. Next, let us look at the contributions of 5G Americas. 5G Americas 5G Americas, formerly called 3G Americas and 4G Americas, is an industry association involved in the development of 5G and related standards for the Americas htps://www.5gamericas.org/). In its white paper on the future of mobile communications, 5G Americas states that satellites and NTNs will extend interconnections to a three-dimensional space (https://www.5gamericas. org/mobile-communications-toward-2030/).This - will support very dense device connections. Apart from GEO, MEO, and LEO satellites, balloons, drones, and aircraft may also help to extend NTNs' connectivity, in the long run. Likewise, future quantum communications may also be facilitated by NTNs. In it
