Capacity in LoRaWAN Networks: Challenges and Opportunities

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) concept is growing in last few years and number of IoT devices is increasing rapidly. Individual IoT sensors communicate over network. The LPWAN (Low Power Wide Area Network) networks possess the ability to offer low-cost connection for huge number of low-power devices distributed over large areas. LoRaWAN is a prominent LPWAN solution and in this paper existing research work related to LoRaWAN capacity is surveyed, presented and discussed.
