“…The IoT has become an emerging topic over the last few years. It can be described as the connection of devices or “things” across the Internet to deliver an assigned function [ 16 ]. This mainly comes in the form of devices sending or receiving data.…”

“…Several technologies based on the IoT are Radio-frequency Identification (RFID), Near-Field Communication (NFC), and WSNs. These technologies are most often characterized by short-range and low-power communication capabilities that limit their coverage areas to a small range [ 16 ]. IoT-based technologies are usually designed for applications that broadcast sporadic short data such as beacons.…”

“…In recent years, we have witnessed a rapid growth in the new technology referred to as Low-Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN). This technology is characterized by long-range radio communication and utilizes the star network topology such that the data are transmitted from one device to another device or directly to a gateway and finally reach the Internet [ 16 ]. Another important feature of this new technology is the ability to place devices in a harsh environment where there is no other type of radio communication.…”

“…This technique enables a variable data rate, thus providing the possibility to trade between efficiency of coverage and energy consumption while keeping a constant bandwidth. However, since this technology uses unlicensed bands, it must share radio communication with other devices using the same frequency [ 16 ]. Thus, it requires some regulation to ensure fair usage of the channel; hence, LoRa uses a duty-cycled transmission of the range from 0.1% up to 10%, depending on the sub-band [ 16 ].…”

Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) is the main communication system currently being used in Air Traffic Control (ATC) around the world. The ADS-B system is planned to be a key component of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) NextGen plan, which will manage the increasingly congested airspace in the coming decades. While the benefits of ADS-B are widely known, its lack of security measures and its vulnerability to cyberattacks such as jamming and spoofing is a great concern for flight safety experts. In this paper, we first summarize the cyberattacks and challenges related to ADS-B’s vulnerabilities. Thereafter, we present theoretical and practical methods for implementing an Internet of Things (IoT)-based system as a possible additional safety layer to mitigate the presented cyber-vulnerabilities. Finally, a set of simulations and field experiments is presented to test the expected performance of the suggested IoT flight safety system. We conjecture that the presented system can be implemented in a wide range of civilian airplanes, leading to an improvement in flight safety in cases of cyberattacks or the absence of reliable ADS-B communication.

Summary With the quick progress of wireless technologies, the Internet of Things (IoT) has been recognized as the main part of daily people's lives that makes their life more convenient by utilizing a diverse range of smart devices. Over the last decade, various useful and forthcoming application fields have been developed by taking advantage of the IoT concept. In this regard, LPWAN technologies such as LoRa, Sigfox, and NB‐IoT play an important role in advancing. These technologies are suitable wireless communication protocols for battery‐powered IoT objects that enable long‐distance communication in low‐power devices at a low operation cost. Some review papers have investigated the LPWAN technology in the IoT from different perspectives. However, the lack of detailed and systematic study outlining the role of these technologies in different IoT applications is very clear. Consequently, this gap inspired us to write the current study. The current works are classified into three main classes, including smart city, home automation, and smart healthcare. Besides, the involved models in the smart city group are categorized into five subgroups, including smart monitoring, smart metering, air pollution, smart agriculture, and smart parking. The selected works are reviewed, and their main features, including main idea, coverage range, sensor types, processing board, frequency band, communication protocols, power consumption analysis, and achievement, are specified. Generally, our main aim is to describe the challenging problems of applying LPWAN to various IoT applications, specify the efficient models, and recommend some hints for upcoming studies.
