Wireless networks have been widely deployed for many Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications, like smart cities and precision agriculture. Low Power Wide Area Networking (LPWAN) is an emerging IoT networking paradigm to meet three key requirements of IoT applications, i.e., low cost, large scale deployment and high energy efficiency. Among all available LPWAN technologies, LoRa networking has attracted much attention from both academia and industry, since it specifies an open standard and allows us to build autonomous LPWAN networks without any third-party infrastructure. Many LoRa networks have been developed recently, e.g., managing solar plants in Carson City, Nevada, USA and power monitoring in Lyon and Grenoble, France. However, there are still many research challenges to develop practical LoRa networks, e.g., link coordination, resource allocation, reliable transmissions and security. This article provides a comprehensive survey on LoRa networks, including the technical challenges of deploying LoRa networks and recent solutions. Based on our detailed analysis of current solutions, some open issues of LoRa networking are discussed. The goal of this survey paper is to inspire more works on improving the performance of LoRa networks and enabling more practical deployments.

In this paper, we introduce an open-source model MOVESTAR to calculate the fuel consumption and pollutant emissions of motor vehicles. This model is developed based on U.S. Environmental Protection Agencys (EPA) Motor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVE
S), which provides an accurate estimate of vehicle emissions under a wide range of user-defined conditions. Originally, MOVES requires users to specify many parameters through its software, including vehicle types, time periods, geographical areas, pollutants, vehicle operating characteristics, and road types. In this paper, MOVESTAR is developed as a simplified version, which only takes the second-by-second vehicle speed data and vehicle type as inputs. To enable easy integration of this model, its source code is provided in various languages, including Python, MATLAB and C++. A case study is introduced in this paper to illustrate the effectiveness of the model in the development of advanced vehicle technology.
An unmanned aircraft system (UAS) consists of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and its controller which use radios to communicate. While the remote controller (RC) is traditionally operated by a person who is maintaining visual line of sight with the
UAV it controls, the trend is moving towards long-range control and autonomous operation. To enable this, reliable and widely available wireless connectivity is needed because it is the only way to manually control a UAV or take control of an autonomous UAV flight. This article surveys the ongoing Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standardization activities for enabling networked UASs. In particular, we present the requirements, envisaged architecture and services to be offered to/by UAVs and RCs, which will communicate with one another, with the UAS Traffic Management (UTM), and with other users through cellular networks. Critical research directions relate to security and spectrum coexistence, among others. We identify major R&D platforms that will drive the standardization of cellular communications networks and applications.
The connected vehicle paradigm empowers vehicles with the capability to communicate with neighboring vehicles and infrastructure, shifting the role of vehicles from a transportation tool to an intelligent service platform. Meanwhile, the transportati
on electrification pushes forward the electric vehicle (EV) commercialization to reduce the greenhouse gas emission by petroleum combustion. The unstoppable trends of connected vehicle and EVs transform the traditional vehicular system to an electric vehicular network (EVN), a clean, mobile, and safe system. However, due to the mobility and heterogeneity of the EVN, improper management of the network could result in charging overload and data congestion. Thus, energy and information management of the EVN should be carefully studied. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive survey on the deployment and management of EVN considering all three aspects of energy flow, data communication, and computation. We first introduce the management framework of EVN. Then, research works on the EV aggregator (AG) deployment are reviewed to provide energy and information infrastructure for the EVN. Based on the deployed AGs, we present the research work review on EV scheduling that includes both charging and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) scheduling. Moreover, related works on information communication and computing are surveyed under each scenario. Finally, we discuss open research issues in the EVN.
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are emerging in commercial spaces and will support many applications and services, such as smart agriculture, dynamic network deployment, and network coverage extension, surveillance and security. The unmanned aircraft
system (UAS) traffic management (UTM) provides a framework for safe UAV operation integrating UAV controllers and central data bases via a communications network. This paper discusses the challenges and opportunities for machine learning (ML) for effectively providing critical UTM services. We introduce the four pillars of UTM---operation planning, situational awareness, status and advisors and security---and discuss the main services, specific opportunities for ML and the ongoing research. We conclude that the multi-faceted operating environment and operational parameters will benefit from collected data and data-driven algorithms, as well as online learning to face new UAV operation situations.
We investigate the probabilistic feasibility of randomized solutions to two distinct classes of uncertain multi-agent optimization programs. We first assume that only the constraints of the program are affected by uncertainty, while the cost function
is arbitrary. Leveraging recent a posteriori developments of the scenario approach, we provide probabilistic guarantees for all feasible solutions of the program under study. This result is particularly useful in cases where numerical difficulties related to the convergence of the solution-seeking algorithm hinder the exact quantification of the optimal solution. Furthermore, it can be applied to cases where the agents incentives lead to a suboptimal solution, e.g., under a non-cooperative setting. We then focus on optimization programs where the cost function admits an aggregate representation and depends on uncertainty while constraints are deterministic. By exploiting the structure of the program under study and leveraging the so called support rank notion, we provide agent-independent robustness certificates for the optimal solution, i.e., the constructed bound on the probability of constraint violation does not depend on the number of agents, but only on the dimension of the agents decision. This substantially reduces the number of samples required to achieve a certain level of probabilistic robustness as the number of agents increases. All robustness certificates provided in this paper are distribution-free and can be used alongside any optimization algorithm. Our theoretical results are accompanied by a numerical case study involving a charging control problem of a fleet of electric vehicles.
