Main contribution

The architecture decouples gateways from central infrastructure, adapts the gateway-network connection according to traffic conditions and enables packet forwarding through gateways not previously identified. Experimental and simulated tests show low latency and the ability to scale to mobile and stationary devices.

Link with BoND1

The work is directly aligned with BoND1 because it addresses mobility, interoperability and flexible deployment in LoRaWAN, all necessary for non-cellular IoT networks to operate in heterogeneous and dynamic environments.
