Title: “Scalability in Low Power Wide Area Networks”
Talking Points:
* Long range and low power requirements have contrasting demands on the network.
* Current LPWAN solutions do not satisfy the large-scale needs of practical deployments.
Abstract
Wireless data delivery over long distance is power consuming and challenging for large-scale deployments. Low-power wide area networks (LPWAN) are increasingly in need to develop wireless solutions that satisfy the following requirements (1) Increased battery life, (2) Longer communication range, (3) Large-Scale, and (4) Low-cost. Existing strategies for addressing low-power and long-range do not efficiently address all of these in a large-scale network. In this talk, the fundamental challenges in meeting the above needs of LPWANs will be identified. Collision resolution approaches to meet the demands of large-scale, commercially available LPWANs – LoRa – will be the focus of this talk.
