The Internet of Things (IoT) will bring about tremendous improvements in user experience and system efficiency. An estimated 50 billion connected devices will be deployed by 2020 and the total IoT revenue is expected to grow to $1.2 trillion in 2022. As a result, IoT services are expected to be a key driver for growth in the cellular industry. The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers from both industry and academia, cellular service providers, and industrial partners to explore IoT requirements, business case, emerging trends, potential applications, and enabling technologies.

The focus of the workshop will be on the evolution of cellular technologies to support low-power wide-area IoT services, related requirements, commercial use cases, field experiments and performance results. The workshop will offer keynote speeches by prominent figures from both commercial and research sides, as well as technical presentations on the latest research and development in cellular IoT, including deployment related results using real-world examples and scenarios. Topics of interest cover cellular IoT emerging trends, requirements, use cases, enabling technologies, and performance results. The workshop solicits technical papers on (but not limited to) topics listed below.
