  3. LPWA Services for Korea • UIS(Urban Information System) • Ground facility Management • Streetlight, guardrail, tunnel, bridge, underground roadway, … • Underground facility monitoring and control system • Utility company(Electric Power System), Gas/Water, … • Manhole, Temperature measurement, Fire detection… • Manhole monitoring System • Pilot program : SK telecom in KOREA • Node-to-Gateway : IEEE802.15.4g PHY, IEEE802.15.4k PHY [1] Tae-Joon Park et al., “Potential Applications for LPWA Networks,” 15-17/0154r01, 2017

  4. Domestic Constraints on LPWA • One of the most important issues in Korea[1] • Mainly used in urban areas : High path-loss environment • Most water meters arebelow the surface • Smart meters(Gas, water, …) in dense residential areas • It is not a distance issue

  5. Underground water meter Cover Without Iron cover Hm=300mm Dipole antenna(100mm) (4 - 35 dB less gain than free space) Water meter 13-40 dB decrease With Iron cover Shield case (20 - 50 dB less gain than free space)

  6. Radiation pattern w/o iron cover

  7. Radiation pattern w/ iron cover

  8. Coverage comparison • Parameters • Center Frequency : 920MHz • TX output power : +14dBm • RX sensitivity : -140dBm (+ 20dB) • Margin of 20dB applied to guarantee wireless connectivity Height of node antenna @ 30m

  9. Proposals on Single-hop Repeater (I) • LPWA prefers direct delivery, but what if not? • Work without complexity ; No installation and routing complexity  LPWA needs a Single-hop repeater • Repeater : As simple as possible! • Able to forward the message for a single hop • Intermediate node in a data communications network, retransmitting data without modifying address information(BS EN 13757-5:2015) • Limited functionality but Needs for low cost meters

  10. Proposals on Single-hop LPWA Repeater (II) • Limited to PHR modification

  11. Proposals on Single-hop LPWA Repeater (III) • Delay • Unregistered repetition • Random repetition delay, CAP • Registered repetition • Deterministic/Random repetition delay, CAP/CFP Legacy Repeater Uplink Device Signal Uplink Amplified RF Signal to Coordinator Power Amplifier Single-hop LPWA Repeater Uplink Device Signal Uplink Amplified LPWA Signal to Coordinator A/D Demod Single-hop LPWA Repeater function Mod D/A Amp

  12. Proposals on Single-hop LPWA Repeater (IV) • Amend the LPWA Single-hop repeater • Add phrases • 5.5.1 Star network formation • While maintaining the star topology, a single-hop LPWA repeater can be used to complement poor communication environment, such as underground metering services.

  13. Proposals on Single-hop LPWA Repeater (V) • Amend the LPWA Single-hop repeater • Add a sub section • 10.2.8 PHY level repeater LPWA Device PHY LPWA repeater PHY Coordinator PHY Repeater Enable set(1/0/0) Repeat Status set (1/1/0) w/ RepeaterID Repeat Enable set(1/0/1) w/ RepeaterID Repeat Status set(1/1/1)

  14. Proposals on Single-hop LPWA Repeater (VI) • Amend the LPWA Single-hop repeater • Add a field • 24. LECIM FSK PHY specification • 24.2.2 PHR field format(in IEEE Std 802.15.4-2015) The Parity field is calculated in the following way: Parity field = b0  b1  b3  b4  b5  b6  b7  b8  b9  b10  b11  b12  b13  b14  b15
