    Maximum size of PDCP SDU and PDCP control PDU is 1600 bytes
    Multicast capabilities work in progress for 3GPP Release-14
    Non-access stratum (NAS) and Access stratum (AS)

    NAS is a set of protocols used to convey non-radio signaling between the UE and the core
    network, passing transparently through radio network. The responsibilities of NAS include
    authentication, security control, mobility management and bearer management
    AS is the functional layer below NAS, working between the UE and radio network. It is
    responsible for transporting data over wireless connection and managing radio resources.
    In NB-IoT, data transfer over NAS signaling is also supported, which enables the usage of
    other delivery protocols than IP as well
    Also AS optimization called RRC suspend/resume can be used to minimize the signaling
    needed to suspend/resume user plane connection.

    L2 security

    Authentication between UE and core network.


    Encryption and integrity protection of both AS and NAS signaling.
    Encryption of user plane data between the UE and radio network.
    Key management mechanisms to effectively support mobility and UE connectivity mode
    changes.

    NB-IoT system architecture

    Architecture is based on evolved Packet Core (EPC) used by LTE


    Cellular IoT User Equipment (CIoT UE) is the mobile terminal
    evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN)
    handles the radio communications between the UE and the EPC,
    and consists of the evolved base stations called eNodeB or eNB

    WORK IN PROGRESS, TO BE DONE


    Further enhancements for NB-IoT (and eMTC) are being
    worked on for next 3GPP Release.
    These enhancements include the following topics
    Positioning
    Multicast
    Support multi-cast downlink transmission (e.g. firmware or software updates, group
    message delivery) for NB-IoT

    Non- Anchor PRB enhancements


    Mobility and service continuity enhancements
    New Power Class(es)
    Evaluate and, if appropriate, specify new UE power class(es) (e.g. 14dBm), and any
    necessary signaling support, to support lower maximum transmit power suitable for
    small form-factor batteries, with appropriate MCL relaxations compared to Rel-13
