Chapter Overview

When you mention “Internet of Things,” many people visualize billions of low power sensor nodes powered by energy harvesting that measure environmental data that are sent wirelessly to the edge and cloud for analysis via Artificial Intelligence and machine learning. These Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) may use Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) wireless standards to send this data.

IoT systems that use LPWAN are characterized by low ...
