title: Low Power Wide Area Network Technologies for Internet of Things: A Comparative Review
abstract: The rapid growth of Internet of Things (IoT) in the current decade has led to the development of a multitude of new access technologies targeted at low power, wide area networks (LP WANs) However, this has also created another challenge pertaining to technology selection. This paper reviews the performance of LP WAN technologies for IoT, including design choices and their implications. We consider Sigfox, LoRaWAN, WavIoT, random phase multiple access (RPMA) narrowband IoT (NB IoT) as well as LTE M and assess their performance in terms of signal propagation, coverage and energy conservation. The comparative analyses presented in this paper are based on available data sheets and simulation results. A sensitivity analysis is also conducted to evaluate network performance in response to variations in system design parameters. Results show that each of RPMA, NB IoT, and LTE M incurs at least 9 dB additional path loss relative to Sigfox and LoRaWAN. This paper further reveals that with a 10% improvement in receiver sensitivity, NB IoT 882 MHz and LoRaWAN can increase coverage by up to 398% and 142% respectively, without adverse effects on the energy requirements. Finally, extreme weather conditions can significantly reduce the active network life of LP WANs. In particular, the results indicate that operating an IoT device in a temperature of 20 degC can shorten its life by about half; 53% (WavIoT, LoRaWAN, Sigfox, NB IoT, and RPMA) and 48% in LTE M compared with environmental temperature of 40 degC.

title: On power law relationships of the Internet topology
abstract: Despite the apparent randomness of the Internet, we discover some surprisingly simple power laws of the Internet topology. These power laws hold for three snapshots of the Internet, between November 1997 and December 1998, despite a 45% growth of its size during that period. We show that our power laws fit the real data very well resulting in correlation coefficients of 96% or higher.Our observations provide a novel perspective of the structure of the Internet. The power laws describe concisely skewed distributions of graph properties such as the node outdegree. In addition, these power laws can be used to estimate important parameters such as the average neighborhood size, and facilitate the design and the performance analysis of protocols. Furthermore, we can use them to generate and select realistic topologies for simulation purposes.

title: A Study of LoRa: Long Range Low Power Networks for the Internet of Things
abstract: LoRa is a long range, low power, low bitrate, wireless telecommunications system, promoted as an infrastructure solution for the Internet of Things: end devices use LoRa across a single wireless hop to communicate to gateway(s) connected to the Internet and which act as transparent bridges and relay messages between these end devices and a central network server. This paper provides an overview of LoRa and an in depth analysis of its functional components. The physical and data link layer performance is evaluated by field tests and simulations. Based on the analysis and evaluations, some possible solutions for performance enhancements are proposed.

title: On reliability, performance and Internet power consumption
abstract: With the increasing concern for global warming, the impact of Internet power consumption is gaining interest. In this paper, we explore, for the first time, the relationship between network robustness, performance and Internet power consumption. We first discuss such a relationship based on data collected from Internet sources. Next, we propose a modeling framework to size that relationship. It is shown that when designing networks based on power consumption, careful attention should be paid to the trade off between energy consumption and network performance since doing otherwise would lead to unreliable networks.

title: Review of Internet of Things (IoT) in Electric Power and Energy Systems
abstract: A transformation is underway in electric power and energy systems (EPESs) to provide clean distributed energy for sustainable global economic growth. Internet of Things (IoT) is at the forefront of this transformation imparting capabilities, such as real time monitoring, situational awareness and intelligence, control, and cyber security to transform the existing EPES into intelligent cyber enabled EPES, which is more efficient, secure, reliable, resilient, and sustainable. Additionally, digitizing the electric power ecosystem using IoT improves asset visibility, optimal management of distributed generation, eliminates energy wastage, and create savings. IoT has a significant impact on EPESs and offers several opportunities for growth and development. There are several challenges with the deployment of IoT for EPESs. Viable solutions need to be developed to overcome these challenges to ensure continued growth of IoT for EPESs. The advancements in computational intelligence capabilities can evolve an intelligent IoT system by emulating biological nervous systems with cognitive computation, streaming and distributed analytics including at the edge and device levels. This review paper provides an assessment of the role, impact and challenges of IoT in transforming EPESs.
