“…MIoTy is an LPWAN protocol aimed primarily for use in IIoT. Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits (F-IIC) invented MIoTy, which introduced a patented telegram splitting technology using the Frequency Hopping Telegram Splitting Multiple Access (FH-TSMA) concept, which has been standardized by the ETSI [84]. The FH-TSMA approach breaks the entire message into multiple sub-packets that are sent at different frequencies and times.…”

Low-power wide-area networks (LPWANs) are gaining popularity in the research community due to their low power consumption, low cost, and wide geographical coverage. LPWAN technologies complement and outperform short-range and traditional cellular wireless technologies in a variety of applications, including smart city development, machine-to-machine (M2M) communications, healthcare, intelligent transportation, industrial applications, climate-smart agriculture, and asset tracking. This review paper discusses the design objectives and the methodologies used by LPWAN to provide extensive coverage for low-power devices. We also explore how the presented LPWAN architecture employs various topologies such as star and mesh. We examine many current and emerging LPWAN technologies, as well as their system architectures and standards, and evaluate their ability to meet each design objective. In addition, the possible coexistence of LPWAN with other technologies, combining the best attributes to provide an optimum solution is also explored and reported in the current overview. Following that, a comparison of various LPWAN technologies is performed and their market opportunities are also investigated. Furthermore, an analysis of various LPWAN use cases is performed, highlighting their benefits and drawbacks. This aids in the selection of the best LPWAN technology for various applications. Before concluding the work, the open research issues, and challenges in designing LPWAN are presented.INDEX TERMS Low-power wide-area networks, wireless networks, Internet of Things, design objectives, network topology, architecture, and applications. I. INTRODUCTIONThe Internet of Things (IoT) has the potential to change the way we live and work by providing its essential services to all the smart devices which are connected to it. IoT alleviates various challenges of wireless networks such as robust internet connectivity among a large population of smart devices, energy constraints in mobile edge devices, fast data transfer, efficient bandwidth utilization, and increased data gathering capability/reliability at the receiver. To achieve these goals, the devices must be optimally connected to the network, resulting in a fast exchange of sensed data facilitating intelligent decision-making to control the physical world phenomenon yielding a smart ecosystem. Several independent studies have predicted that in coming years IoT plays a crucial role in various social and commercial applications such as smart healthcare, intelligent transporta-tion, climate-smart agriculture, rescue operations, logistics, smart cities, industries, utilities, smart buildings, consumer electronics, security, asset tracking, smart waste management systems, cognitive manufacturing, and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications [1]-[5]. Furthermore, it has been estimated that by 2025, the adoption of smart M2M gadgets and electronic goods can overtake the number of human subscribers utilizing smartphones, desktops, notebooks, and similar objects. According to the analys...

“…A communication LoRaWAN protocol uses the LoRa modulation technique to send tiny data such as those from remote sensors across great distances. LoRa networks employ a LoRa modulation technique that facilitates long-distance reliable communication when the data rates are small [7], [11]. According to [1] and [3][4][5][6], in urban areas, the LoRa network can push data between the end device and gateway between 0-5 km while in sparsely populated areas this distance can increase to 15 km.…”

LoRaWAN is currently the best among the LPWANs protocols when it comes to IoT or machine-to-machine (M2M) communication such as in the deployment of wireless sensor networks. LoRaWAN is an RF technology operating in ISM bands. Its strength comes from the capability of Long-range communication between remote sensors and the gateways, deep indoor penetration, and public and private network deployment. All these traits are possible because of the LoRa network modulation technique. This paper provides an overview of the LoRaWAN protocol and the 5G cellular network. Also, the paper gives the benefits of using LoRaWAN over the other technologies for the deployment of the IoT module communication links.
