A Review of Recent Patents on LoRaWAN
View through CrossRef
Background:
LoRaWAN technology enables IoT devices with ubiquitous connectivity,
which further empowers a broad spectrum of applications, including civil engineering, agriculture,
and smart home. Although LoRaWAN has low-power energy consumption and long-range communication
capability, it has many features that should be carefully managed to improve its performance.
Objective:
This paper aimed to review recent patents on improving the performance of LoRaWAN.
Methods:
The most related patents on improving the performance of LoRaWAN were discussed and
analyzed.
Results:
A total of 71 patents were reviewed. This paper proposed a 2D taxonomy to categorize the
existing patents. These patents aimed at focusing on the main components of LoRaWAN, i.e., end
node, gateway, and server, and improving the performance of LoRaWAN from six aspects, i.e., energy
efficiency, communication range, transmission efficiency, collision management, network security,
and interoperability. The methodologies used in the current patent development were also
discussed.
Conclusion:
Tremendous efforts have been devoted to improving the performance of LoRaWAN in
recent years. To continue the growth of LoRaWAN technology, future patent development may focus
on scalability, cost-effectiveness, and ease of implementation.
