Popis: Part of International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications, PerCom2018, Athens, Greece, March 19-23, 2018.; International audience; LPWAN are actually the most popular low cost, long battery lifetime, and long range communication technology for IoT applications. This paper presents a comprehensive and comparative study on three actually leading LPWAN technologies called Sigfox, LoRaWAN, and NB-IoT. We show that Sigfox and LoRaWAN excel on network capacity, devices lifetime, and cost. Whereas, NB-IoT excels on quality of service and latency. In addition, we consider application scenarios and explain which technology fits best to guide future researchers and industrials.
