“…Applications and functions for the interest of end users without compromising the quality and provision of existing services will have to be addressed too which in turn will put a constraint on network capacity. Network scalability, throughput and/or cell capacity issues have been studied in [25][26][27][28][29]. Transceivers are assumed to undergo high levels of cross and self-technology interference from heterogeneous environments of various wireless technologies and the massive number of IoE devices as LPWAN technologies remain their operations in unlicensed spectrums.…”

Determining the suitability of any technology for an Internet of Everything (IoE) application is essential in the presence of diverse technologies and application requirements. Some of the IoE applications include smart metering, wearables, healthcare, remote monitoring, inventory management and industrial automation. Energy efficiency, scalability, security, low-cost deployment and network coverage are some of the requirements that vary from one application to another. Wireless technologies such as WiFi, ZigBee, Bluetooth, LTE, NB-IoT, LoRa and SigFox will play crucial roles in enabling these applications. Some of the technological features are transmission range, bandwidth, data rate, security schemes and infrastructure requirements. As there is no one-size-all network solution available, the key is to understand the diverse requirements of different IoE applications and specific features offered by different IoE enabling technologies. Application-specific technology selection will ensure the best possible utilization of any technology and the quality of service requirements. An overview of network performance expectations from various IoE applications and enabling technologies, their features and potential applications are presented in this paper.

“…Researchers investigated LoRaWAN from several different perspectives. Theoretical analysis of LoRaWAN scalability for European and North American bands was presented in [41,42]. A robust physical layer in LoRaWAN ensured better scalability than pure ALOHA as some packets could be recovered under concurrent transmissions as conditions were met [43].…”

Advanced-Metering-Infrastructure (AMI) is an integral part of Smart-Grids (SGs). It enables accurate consumer billing in presence of dynamic pricing, and improves efficiency and reliability of electricity distribution in presence of distributed generation. Value-added features of AMI such as diagnostics and maintenance service can identify the anomalous power consumption patterns of appliances at the end of their life cycle. Water and gas utility distribution networks in smart cities will incorporate AMI as an application of Internet-of-Things (IoT). The communication infrastructure plays a crucial role in enabling two-way communication between Smart-Meters (SMs) and the utility. AMI’s bi-directional communication facility supports precise modeling of load information and data management system facilitating demand-response applications to reduce energy wastage. Researchers have investigated the role of wireless technologies in Home-Area-Networks (HANs), Neighborhood-Area-Networks (NANs) and Wide-Area-Networks (WANs) in AMI. The arrival of new Low-Power-Wide-Area-Networks (LPWANs) technologies has opened up new technology integration possibilities in AMI. However, it is essential to understand the AMI architecture, envisioned application types, network requirements, features and limitations of existing technologies to determine a technology’s integration suitability in an application for smart metering technology. This chapter discusses LoRa for smart metering in infrastructure-less environments and the possible use of our multi-hop routing scheme.

Internet of Things (IoT) expansion led the market to find alternative communication technologies since existing protocols are insufficient in terms of coverage, energy consumption to fit IoT needs. Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN) emerged as an alternative cost-effective communication technology for the IoT market. LoRaWAN is an open LPWAN standard developed by LoRa Alliance and has key features i.e., low energy consumption, long-range communication, builtin security, GPS-free positioning. In this paper, we will introduce LoRaWAN technology, the state of art studies in the literature and provide open opportunities. Several LPWANs emerged on both licensed and unlicensed bands, LoRaWAN, Sigfox and, NB-IoT are widely deployed vital technologies [3].Sigfox is an ultra-narrow band network that is patented and operated by Sigfox. Sigfox occupies 100 Hz and operates at 433MHz, 868MHz and 915MHz frequencies depending on the geographical regions. Technology has strict constraints on the number of packets (140 per day) and the packet size (12 bytes) to be sent. Also, LoRaWAN has similar policies to prevent network congestion allowing channels to be available only %1 duty-cycle for EU 868MHz (See Section 2.4.7). NB-IoT is an ultra-narrow band technology developed by the 3GPP group which can be adopted on GSM and LTE networks. It occupies 200 MHz bandwidth and can reach up to 200 kbps data transmission speed. Compared to LoRaWAN, Sigfox and NB-IoT operated by global network operators which limit deployments of the private networks [4].An overview comparison of the three networks is shown in Table 1. When LPWAN characteristics are considered LoRaWAN becomes a strong candidate for both scientific and industrial uses cases.LoRa referrer to Long Range and a physical layer technology patented by Semtech [5].LoRaWAN is an open protocol proposed by the LoRa Alliance which enables the MAC layer for the network [6].In this study, we will introduce the technological aspects of LoRaWAN and the state of art studies fulfilled about LoRaWAN till today. LoRaWAN protocol was first released in 2015 and had a few minor revisions, the differences in the protocol has been highlighted in the relevant subsection. In the survey, we will introduce LoRaWAN in depth both technological aspects and the use cases of its different areas. We categorized literature studies as in Figure 1. Studies are classified as two main sections; network technology and the applications, each section has own sub-branches. The majority of the work is focused on the coverage tests and applicability of the technology for different fields from large scale smart city applications to personal tracking assets. However, there are still gaps in the literature where researchers can address these problems such as post-disaster communication, decentralized networks, network management, and Adaptive Data Rate.
