Transforming IoT Connectivity

As the Internet of Things (IoT) rapidly evolves it fosters numerous innovative applications that connect low-data-rate low-power devices. Traditional wireless technologies struggle to meet these connectivity needs leading to the exploration of Low-Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN) for long-distance communication. This book addresses critical challenges in LPWAN technologies for large-scale deployments including transmission conflicts weak signals and interference from diverse protocols. We present a novel collision decoding mechanism that enhances network throughput a weak signal enhancement mechanism for improved signal quality in complex environments and a wide-area heterogeneous interconnection technology for effective communication across different technologies. Our large-scale deployment connecting thousands of smart city devices validates the effectiveness of these solutions providing a vital resource for researchers and practitioners in IoT connectivity.
