Designing LoRaWAN networks for dense IoT deploymentsActility
LoRaWAN has recently emerged as one of the key radio technologies to address the challenges of Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) deployments, namely power efficiency, long range, scalable deployments and cost effectiveness. LoRaWAN architecture is like cellular system in which devices communicate directly with a central node. LoRaWAN provides different communication options (center frequency, spreading factor, bandwidth and coding rates) to facilitate simultaneous transmissions.
In this paper, we develop an uplink multi-cell model for LoRaWAN capacity and then validate it with system simulations. These studies are based on inputs from real-world Actility world-wide deployments of LoRaWAN with leading Tier-1 carriers such as Comcast, Enforta, KPN, NTT, Orange, Proximus, SoftBank or Swisscom, or large cities such as the city of Shanghai (with partners such as FoxConn group and OPG).
We show in this paper how quasi-orthogonal spreading factors, macro diversity, power control, retransmissions and Adaptive Data Rate (ADR) techniques are the key to scale LoRaWAN dense multi- cell deployments and to ensure consistent QoS (Quality of Service) in presence of increasing traffic as usage of LoRaWAN and ISM band networks in general grows.
We highlight the fact that LoRaWAN capacity scales very gracefully with densification of gateways, but the key to achieving this capacity lies in the network server algorithms that are proprietary and not part of the LoRaWAN standard.
We also show how the simplicity of LoRaWAN leads to ultra-low power consumption and ease of deployment for end nodes. However, this simplicity of protocol needs to be compensated by advanced algorithms for network management in the network server to meet the needs of the IoT deployments. Finally, we conclude the paper with the case study for operator use cases and show how densification leads to dramatic reduction in TCO for both operator and enterprises.

M2M communication and the IP revolution in radio. A marriage made in the clou...Comms Connect
Ashwin Dinkar is a qualified senior bid engineer at Simoco Australasia. Having worked in the radio communication industry for over 5 years, Ashwin has driven development of systems engineering, pre-sales, network management and third-party integration components of the RF industry both within and outside Simoco. Based in Melbourne, Ashwin influences pre-sales efforts by evaluating Simoco's customer requirements and delivering customised solutions in public safety, transport and utilities sectors around the world.
This session will provide a quick review of the methodology of early dispatch systems connected to radio, telephone and other resources via circuit switched interfaces such as 4WE&M, 2W analogue etc., and their restricted backhaul capabilities, leading on to the 'stand-alone' RoIP boxes that allowed 4W E&M to be converted to IP and recovered at the other end allowing backhaul via more flexible IP networks.
The next technology is dispatch systems with native IP connectivity allowing the most flexible and functional interfaces between the dispatch system and its connected resources. While some manufacturers equipment uses proprietary IP messaging, most prefer and use open standards such as P25 CSSI (console sub system interface), DFSI (digital fixed system interface) and ISSI (inter sub system interface) or the emerging DMR AIS which ensures that different vendors equipment can interoperate with each other via these interfaces. Open standards provide end users with greatly improved competitive choice and functional capability on these systems.
The session will explore examples of IP interfaces for voice dispatch systems and the functions supported, plus give a background on how these apply to many different technologies and can even be adapted for conventional radio applications:
The workshop will cover on the following issues:
- The difference between RoIP and VoIP - how radio systems differ from phone systems
- Implementing one-to-one connections
- Implementing many-to-many connection
- Risk management: Identifying network issues affecting RoIP/VoIP quality; maintenance; and redundancy
- Design elements :- building blocks; calculating network bandwidth requirements
The implications of RoIP for dispatch consoles will be also be discussed: how dispatch console to radio connections can be implemented with RoIP and how RoIP can be used to provide fault tolerant dispatch architectures.
Finally the workshop will look at the impact of new technologies such as IPv6, Wireless Broadband and the switch to Digital Radio on the RoIP landscape.

Several case studies are presented on IPv6 deployment by mobile carriers like T-Mobile USA. Taiwan's government efforts to promote IPv6 are also summarized, as well as the work done by TWNIC and APNIC to measure IPv6 readiness and encourage adoption.
The document discusses strategies for transitioning a telecom broadband access network to IPv6. It recommends initially adopting a dual-stack approach to support both IPv4 and IPv6 in parallel. This reduces impact on devices and services that only support IPv4. By 2019, it may be possible to transition to single-stack IPv6 after more devices support it. Key challenges include Apple's lack of support for 464XLAT, potential impact on quality of experience for IPv4-only apps and services, and needing to update the PCRF to fully support IPv6. Logging servers will also be required to support IPv4 content for IPv6 users. Thorough testing is advised before deploying IPv6 capabilities into live networks.
T-Mobile USA is pursuing an IPv6 deployment strategy to address IPv4 address exhaustion and prepare for continued growth. Their strategy involves deploying dual-stack with NAT44 initially, but targeting an IPv6-only network with NAT64/DNS64 to transition users. They conducted a friendly user trial of IPv6-only which showed most applications working but identified areas like Skype and video chat that were broken. Their lessons emphasize making the business case, engaging enthusiasts, and creating a roadmap while being mindful of security and digital divide considerations.

The document provides an overview of 5G technology including:
- 5G networks will be able to handle 10,000 times more call and data traffic than 4G and provide data download speeds hundreds of times faster than 4G.
- 5G is expected to be rolled out commercially between 2020 and 2025 once global standards are finalized in 2019.
- The document outlines the evolution from 1G to 5G mobile networks and compares their key features.
- It describes the networking architecture, functional architecture, and data transfer process of 5G including elements like the radio access network, flat IP network, and 5G nanocore.
The document discusses the need for IPv6, the implications and vision for IPv6, and examples of IPv6 deployment. Specifically, it notes that IPv4 addresses will run out by 2012, IPv6 enables new applications and devices, and provides a secure connection from end-to-end. It highlights Japan's earthquake early warning system over IPv6 multicasting as an example of successful IPv6 use today.
The document discusses how to characterize and dimension user traffic in 4G networks. It describes how to define data traffic in terms of data speed and data tonnage. Data speed is the rate at which data is transferred, while data tonnage refers to the total amount of data exchanged. The document provides examples of data speed metrics used in 3GPP standards and outlines factors to consider when calculating expected data usage per subscriber based on typical mobile application usage patterns and available data plans. Dimensioning user traffic accurately is important for designing 4G networks to meet capacity demands.

LBS: Where are we? Where are we going? And how do we get there?John Loughney
1) There is growing consumer and developer demand for location-enabled mobile applications. 53% of consumers want navigation on their phones and the top applications desired are location-related.
2) Nokia's location technologies provide an ecosystem for building location-aware applications, with tools for maps, navigation, and location acquisition from various sources like GPS.
3) Nokia Maps and Traffic applications demonstrate use of location for turn-by-turn navigation and collecting anonymous traffic data from GPS-enabled phones.
This document discusses IPv6 support in 2G and 3G networks. It notes that IPv6 addresses some key limitations of IPv4, including limited address space and complexity from practices like NAT. It outlines IPv6 status in various standards bodies and vendor support. It describes how IPv6 enables important applications in 3G networks like IMS and peer-to-peer applications. It also discusses transition challenges, including the need to avoid NATs between PoC clients and servers due to UDP port timeouts.
"Converged Communications -- Impact and Requirements on future handsetsJohn Loughney
"Converged Communications -- Impact and Requirements on future handsets" at IWPC Session: Future Handset Applications vs. Next-Gen Hardware December 4th - 7th 2007.
http://www.iwpc.org/Workshop_Folders/07_12_Handset_Apps/Handset_Nokia.htm
This document discusses the convergence of communication technologies and the importance of IPv6. It notes that voice will remain the dominant mobile application in the near future but mobile internet usage is growing rapidly. It also discusses that IPv4 addresses are finite and will run out by 2010, forcing networks to increasingly rely on IPv6. IPv6 allows for long-lived connections without keepalive messages, improving battery life for mobile devices, as converged communication shifts to an all-IP model.
Quality of Service at the Internet Engineering Task ForceJohn Loughney
"Quality of Service at the Internet Engineering Task Force" Workshop on "End-to-End Quality of Service. What is it? How do we get it?" Geneva, 1-3 October 2003.
The document discusses how Nokia is working to enhance communication methods beyond traditional voice calls. It notes that while the mobile phone allows universal connectivity, the ways people communicate are expanding through SMS, instant messaging, email, VoIP and more. However, access to these services is not as universal as voice calls. Nokia's Technology Collaboration Center is working with operators and internet providers to integrate richer content and styles of communication to make connections more natural. The goal is to deploy these enhanced communication technologies more widely to improve interoperability globally.
IP QoS signaling in the IETF:Past, Present and FutureJohn Loughney
The document summarizes the past, present, and future work of the IETF related to QoS signaling. It describes the early work on RSVP and IntServ in the late 1990s. It then outlines the various working groups formed to develop differentiated services, resource allocation protocols, policy frameworks, and sub-IP technologies. Finally, it discusses the Next Steps in Signaling working group, which aims to standardize a new IP signaling protocol to simplify and generalize RSVP signaling, along with its goals and deliverables.
Mobile Terminals as a Driver for IPv6 DeploymentJohn Loughney
Mobile terminals are driving the deployment of IPv6 by requiring a huge number of IP addresses and benefiting from IPv6 features like built-in mobility support, autoconfiguration, and an end-to-end communication model. As mobile devices take on more functions like integrated cameras and support new multimedia services, the growth of data traffic will necessitate an all-IP architecture with sufficient address space like IPv6. Transition mechanisms will allow gradual evolution from IPv4 to IPv6 networks.
DIANA: Scenarios for QoS based integration of IP and ATMJohn Loughney
This document discusses several approaches for integrating IP and ATM networks to provide quality of service (QoS). It summarizes the Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP), Scalable Reservation Protocol (SRP), and Simple Integrated Media Access (SIMA) approaches. It also outlines initial experiments on the DIANA platform to evaluate these approaches over ATM networks, including RSVP over ATM signaling, SRP control behavior, and the impact of dynamic SIMA marking. The conclusion is that RSVP over ATM peering has issues while SRP over ATM and SIMA/DiffServ seem more promising for further testing on DIANA in year 2 of the project.
This document discusses the benefits of using IPv6 in 3G core networks. It notes that IPv6 addresses the limitations of IPv4, such as limited address space and lack of built-in security and mobility support, which will be important for billions of mobile devices on 3G networks. While transition challenges exist due to existing IPv4 infrastructure, the document argues that 3G core networks should be designed using IPv6 from the start to future-proof the network architecture and simplify interoperability.
Diameter is the next generation Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) protocol that consists of a base specification and applications. It allows for roaming between networks by authenticating users through their home network and granting access on remote networks. Several organizations are working on Diameter specifications and applications to support different access technologies and services. Further work is still needed to complete specifications for Mobile IP, SIP, and other network applications.
