LPWAN in the Context of 5G: Capability of LoRaWAN to Contribute to mMTC
seems unlikely. In this regard, future 5G networks aim at unified connectivity with an ambitious node density of 1,000,000 devices per square kilometer in the area of 5G massive Machine Type Communication [...] that the uplink can cover approximately 10% of the 5G mMTC connection density objective. Hence, LoRaWAN indicates a high potential to contribute to 5G mMTC application areas, especially for non-time-critical [...] capability of LoRaWAN as a complementary solution in unlicensed frequency bands to contribute to given 5G requirements for specific mMTC applications in large-scale deployments. The performance evaluation …
