چکیده

There is growing interest in the Internet of Things (IoT) and especially Low-Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN), which are rapidly being rolled-out globally. Within the LPWAN market, LoRaWAN is considered a leading solution which has achieved significant success. Despite the rapid uptake of LoRaWAN, scalability concerns arising from interference and contention are also growing. While the current LoRaWAN protocol includes basic techniques to deal with these problems, recent research has shown that these mechanisms are ineffective at large scale. This paper addresses this problem by proposing FLIP, a novel, fully distributed and open architecture for LoRaWAN, that transforms standard LoRa gateways into a federated network, while preserving the privacy and security properties of the original LoRaWAN architecture. FLIP tackles the scalability limitations of LoRaWAN using consensus-driven and localised resource sharing between gateways, while also providing inherent support for the roaming of LoRa devices across the federation. Critically, the FLIP architecture is fully backwards compatible with all existing LoRa gateways and requires no modifications to the firmware of LoRa end-devices, facilitating its rapid adoption.

Low-power Interoperability for the IPv6-based Internet of Things

The Internet of Things requires interoperability and low power consumption, but interoperability and low power consumption have thus far been mutually exclusive. This talk outlines the challenges in attaining low power operation for the IPv6-based Internet of Things, how this affects interop-erability, and what must be done to combine the two. Research and standardization has come a long way to...

A Study of LoRa: Long Range & Low Power Networks for the Internet of Things

LoRa is a long-range, low-power, low-bitrate, wireless telecommunications system, promoted as an infrastructure solution for the Internet of Things: end-devices use LoRa across a single wireless hop to communicate to gateway(s), connected to the Internet and which act as transparent bridges and relay messages between these end-devices and a central network server. This paper provides an overvie...
