Integrated sensing and communication in LPWANs
Co-located with IEEE MASS 2024
25 September, 2024
Objectives
Low-Power Wide-Area Networks (LPWANs) offer long-range communication with low power consumption, making them particularly well-suited for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. However, existing research either focuses on reliable communication under various interference sources or leverages LoRa signals for remote and long-range sensing. Till now, there has been limited work on integrated sensing and communication for LoRa, although integrated sensing and communication has been discussed a lot in 5G/6G scenarios.
The proposed workshop aims to address this timely and critical aspect of LPWAN technology that is not adequately covered by the main conference symposia. In conclusion, this workshop presents a valuable opportunity for researchers, engineers, and industry experts to delve into the challenges and opportunities associated with integrating sensing and communication in LPWANs. Participants will have the chance to exchange their valuable insights and foster collaborations to drive innovation in IoT-enabled systems.
The target communities/groups for our workshop include academic researchers, industry professionals, IoT enthusiasts, and practitioners. By aiming to attract a diverse range of individuals with a shared interest in integrated sensing and communication in LPWANs, the workshop seeks to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration, facilitate knowledge exchange, and provide networking opportunities for participants from both academia and industry. These interactions will enhance workshop discussions, broaden perspectives, and facilitate the translation of research findings into practical solutions with a meaningful societal impact.
