Scope
Low-power wide area network (LPWAN) technologies are emerging as key-enablers to support massive machine type connectivity in the internet of things (IoT). In recent years, both licensed and unlicensed LPWAN technologies are gaining significant attention. These technologies can operate in coexistence with the traditional cellular and short-range wireless technologies to enable connectivity for low power and low data rate devices. LPWAN technologies are applicable to a large range of IoT scenarios such as smart meter, smart parking, smart homes, smart tracking, smart logistics, e-health, industrial automation, etc.

Narrowband Internet-of-Things (NB-IoT), extended coverage GSM (EC-GSM) and LTE Category M1 (LTE-M1) are enabling licensed LPWAN low-complex cellular IoT communication technologies to support massive machine type communication in 5G. For example, NB-IoT was standardized in 2016 by the Third Generation Partnership (3GPP) in Release 13 to provide faster deployment and operation time to mobile network operators (MNOs), thanks to simple firmware upgrade on existing LTE infrastructure. Since 2016, the standard has been enhanced with several interesting features being proposed in Releases 14, 15 and upcoming Release 16, including support of time division duplexing, positioning, multicast, extended transport block size to manage peak data rates, mobility, power consumption and latency reduction, and so on. With such prominent features, NB-IoT has become one of the dominating technologies in the LPWAN area.

In parallel, LoRa, SigFox, Ingenu, Weightless-SIG, Telensa, etc., are unlicensed LPWAN technologies that are under deployment or development, each employing various techniques to achieve long-range, low power operation, and high scalability, e.g., spread-spectrum technology with a wideband and data rates using encoded packets (LoRa) or (ultra)-narrowband technology and slow modulation rate for extended range (SigFox). Unlicensed technologies also get improved over time; for example, some of the latest developments in LoRa include firmware updates over the air, application layer clock synchronization, remote multicast, and fragmented data block transport.

However, LPWAN technologies are still considered in their early stage, needing on one hand, practical deployments and measurements, and on the other hand, deep theoretical investigation for modeling and optimizing system performance. Also, emerging applications that can be enabled by LPWAN technologies and implementation challenges therein need further exploration.
Thus, the objective of this symposium is to bring together recent progress in practical experiences, theory, modeling, designing, implementation, deployment, and management of LPWAN systems.
