The paper offers an overview of currently known CIoT technologies. These include NB-IoT, LTE-M and EC-GSM-IoT. An overview of articles in three areas is provide: articles that compare CIoT technologies; guides for deploying these networks and articles detailing aspects of CIoT technologies. Based on these 3GPP articles and documents, a detailed description of the key features is provide. Based on the information from them, we can say that all three technologies have similar connection algorithms. This paper provides a generalized procedure for connecting CIoT technologies. It will allow the reader better understand the process from turning on the device to connecting to the network. For a detailed comparison, the distinctive features of all stages of the generalized process of connecting each of the technologies were write out. This review is suitable for a wide range of readers and allows a better understanding of CIoT technologies in order to conduct further research in this area.
