Abstract
Today the Internet of Things connects millions of devices around the world, offering access to new services and technology development capabilities. The use of multiple small-sized sensors makes it possible to control and manage different processes in a new, intelligent and flexible way. In this paper a survey of Low Power Wide Area Networks operating in the ISM band is conducted, examining future development trends, major challenges and applications. Using this type of network it becomes possible to transmit information over very long distances, minimize the energy used and deploy huge quantities of sensors over large geographical areas. This paper also presents an overview of RF Data Analytics as a modern technique to enhance the network performance of LPWANs. This can be achieved by examining raw RF data in order to predict the trends that characterise it and subsequently to implement a range of methods and algorithms for interference management and intelligent spectrum utilisation.
