Internet of things wireless networking with long range, low power and low throughput is raising as a new paradigm enabling to connect trillions of devices efficiently. In such networks with low power and bandwidth devices, localization becomes more challenging. In this work we take a closer look at the underlying aspects of received signal strength indicator (RSSI) based localization in UNB long-range IoT networks such as Sigfox. Firstly, the RSSI has been used for fingerprinting localization where RSSI measurements of GPS anchor nodes have been used as landmarks to classify other nodes into one of the GPS nodes classes. Through measurements we show that a location classification accuracy of 100% is achieved when the classes of nodes are isolated. When classes are approaching each other, our measurements show that we can still achieve an accuracy of 85%. Furthermore, when the density of the GPS nodes is increasing, we can rely on peer-to-peer triangulation and thus improve the possibility of localizing nodes with an error less than 20m from 20% to more than 60% of the nodes in our measurement scenario. 90% of the nodes is localized with an error of less than 50m in our experiment with non-optimized anchor node locations.

Localization in long-range Internet of Things networks is a challenging task, mainly due to the long distances and low bandwidth used. Moreover, the cost, power, and size limitations restrict the integration of a GPS receiver in each device. In this
work, we introduce a novel received signal strength indicator (RSSI) based localization solution for ultra narrow band (UNB) long-range IoT networks such as Sigfox. The essence of our approach is to leverage the existence of a few GPS-enabled sensors (GSNs) in the network to split the wide coverage into classes, enabling RSSI based fingerprinting of other sensors (SNs). By using machine learning algorithms at the network backed-end, the proposed approach does not impose extra power, payload, or hardware requirements. To comprehensively validate the performance of the proposed method, a measurement-based dataset that has been collected in the city of Antwerp is used. We show that a location classification accuracy of 80% is achieved by virtually splitting a city with a radius of 2.5 km into seven classes. Moreover, separating classes, by increasing the spacing between them, brings the classification accuracy up-to 92% based on our measurements. Furthermore, when the density of GSN nodes is high enough to enable device-to-device communication, using multilateration, we improve the probability of localizing SNs with an error lower than 20 m by 40% in our measurement scenario.
Low-power wide-area (LPWA) networks are attracting extensive attention because of their abilities to offer low-cost and massive connectivity to Internet of Things (IoT) devices distributed over wide geographical areas. This article provides a brief o
verview on the existing LPWA technologies and useful insights to aid the large-scale deployment of LPWA networks. Particularly, we first review the currently competing candidates of LPWA networks, such as narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) and long range (LoRa), in terms of technical fundamentals and large-scale deployment potential. Then we present two implementation examples on LPWA networks. By analyzing the field-test results, we identify several challenges that prevent LPWA technologies moving from the theory to wide-spread practice.
Due to the flexibility and low operational cost, dispatching unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to collect information from distributed sensors is expected to be a promising solution in Internet of Things (IoT), especially for time-critical applications
. How to maintain the information freshness is a challenging issue. In this paper, we investigate the fresh data collection problem in UAV-assisted IoT networks. Particularly, the UAV flies towards the sensors to collect status update packets within a given duration while maintaining a non-negative residual energy. We formulate a Markov Decision Process (MDP) to find the optimal flight trajectory of the UAV and transmission scheduling of the sensors that minimizes the weighted sum of the age of information (AoI). A UAV-assisted data collection algorithm based on deep reinforcement learning (DRL) is further proposed to overcome the curse of dimensionality. Extensive simulation results demonstrate that the proposed DRL-based algorithm can significantly reduce the weighted sum of the AoI compared to other baseline algorithms.
Caching has been regarded as a promising technique to alleviate energy consumption of sensors in Internet of Things (IoT) networks by responding to users requests with the data packets stored in the edge caching node (ECN). For real-time applications
in caching enabled IoT networks, it is essential to develop dynamic status update strategies to strike a balance between the information freshness experienced by users and energy consumed by the sensor, which, however, is not well addressed. In this paper, we first depict the evolution of information freshness, in terms of age of information (AoI), at each user. Then, we formulate a dynamic status update optimization problem to minimize the expectation of a long term accumulative cost, which jointly considers the users AoI and sensors energy consumption. To solve this problem, a Markov Decision Process (MDP) is formulated to cast the status updating procedure, and a model-free reinforcement learning algorithm is proposed, with which the challenge brought by the unknown of the formulated MDPs dynamics can be addressed. Finally, simulations are conducted to validate the convergence of our proposed algorithm and its effectiveness compared with the zero-wait baseline policy.
We propose using Carrier Sensing (CS) for distributed interference management in millimeter-wave (mmWave) cellular networks where spectrum is shared by multiple operators that do not coordinate among themselves. In addition, even the base station sit
es can be shared by the operators. We describe important challenges in using traditional CS in this setting and propose enhanced CS protocols to address these challenges. Using stochastic geometry, we develop a general framework for downlink coverage probability analysis of our shared mmWave network in the presence of CS and derive the downlink coverage probability expressions for several CS protocols. To the best of our knowledge, our work is the first to investigate and analyze (using stochastic geometry) CS for mmWave networks with spectrum and BS sites shared among non-coordinating operators. We evaluate the downlink coverage probability of our shared mmWave network using simulations as well as numerical examples based on our analysis. Our evaluations show that our proposed enhancements lead to an improvement in downlink coverage probability, compared to the downlink coverage probability with no CS, for higher values of signal-to-interference and noise ratio (SINR). Interestingly, our evaluations also reveal that for lower values of SINR, not using any CS is the best strategy in terms of the downlink coverage probability.
