Low-Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) wireless technologies sacrifice data throughput for long-range communication with to preserve battery lifetime.
Andreas Färber created a design to bring LoRa PHY sockets into the Linux kernel, with LoRaWAN MAC layered on top. As he interacted with other LPWA or WPA network technologies stake holders it was natural for more discussions to surface.
This talk will give an update on where the discussions have gone for LoRa, FSK, etc., with focus on netlink layer, protocol families and socket addresses. Andreas hopes to elicit more discussions and reach a consensus.
