Abstract:

LoRaWAN is a representative low power wide area networking technology that has attracted significant attention from both the industry and academia.It can improve the connectivity of massive edge devices greatly in the era of Internet of things (IoT).The basics of LoRaWAN were reviewed briefly and the latest LoRaWAN research results were surveyed in four aspects, i.e., communication performance target localization, wireless network security, and heterogeneous network.The opportunities and challenges were also discussed regarding the wide adoption of LoRaWAN in China’s context in four aspects, i.e., business models, supervision methods, technology innovations, and emerging applications.

Key words: LoRaWAN, LPWAN, low power, IoT
