“…In terms of integrating with other IoT systems and introducing new services, the planned framework was scalable and versatile. It is also horizontally scalable, which means it can improve efficiency by replicating new server occurrences [25]. Heizelmann created the low-energy adaptive wireless sensor network routing LEACH protocol, which was the first hierarchical clusterbased routing protocol for a wireless sensor network.…”

Agricultural food production is projected to be 70% higher by 2050 than it is today, with the world population rising to more than 9 billion, 34% higher than it is now. The farmers have been forced to produce more with the same resources. This pressure means that optimizing productivity is one of the main objectives of the producers but also in a sustainable way. Not only does agriculture face a decline in production, but it has also had to face limitations in data collection, storing, securing, and sharing, climate change, increases in input prices, traditional food supply chain systems where there is no direct connection between the farmer and the buyer, and limitations on energy use. Existing IoT-based agriculture systems have a centralized format and operate in isolation, leaving room for unresolved issues and major concerns, including data security, manipulation, and single failure points. This paper proposes a futuristic IoT with a blockchain model to meet these challenges. Further, this paper also proposes and novel energy-efficient clustering IoT-based agriculture protocol for lower energy consumption and network stability and compares its results with its counterpart low-energy adoptive clustering hierarchy (LEACH) protocol. The simulation results show that the proposed protocol network stability is 23% higher as compared to LEACH as first node of LEACH dies at 168 rounds while IoT-based agriculture first node dies after 463 rounds. Similarly, IoT-based agriculture protocol energy consumption is 68% lower than that of LEACH. The proposed protocol also extends the network life to more rounds and demonstrates an increase of 112%.

“…Figure 6 depicts a typical LoRaWAN mobility scenario with several different mobile IoT devices, with particular mobility behaviors and consequently distinct QoS requirements. Moreover, several works [132,133,134,135] have proposed new protocols and mechanisms to provide mobility support for LoRaWAN applications, and we present them in the following subsection.…”

Long-Range Wide-Area Network (LoRaWAN) enables flexible long-range service communications with low power consumption which is suitable for many IoT applications. The densification of LoRaWAN, which is needed to meet a wide range of IoT networking requirements, poses further challenges. For instance, the deployment of gateways and IoT devices are widely deployed in urban areas, which leads to interference caused by concurrent transmissions on the same channel. In this context, it is crucial to understand aspects such as the coexistence of IoT devices and applications, resource allocation, Media Access Control (MAC) layer, network planning, and mobility support, that directly affect LoRaWAN's performance. We present a systematic review of state-of-the-art works for LoRaWAN optimization solutions for IoT networking operations. We focus on five aspects that directly affect the performance of LoRaWAN. These specific aspects are directly associated with the challenges of densification of LoRaWAN. Based on the literature analysis, we present a taxonomy covering five aspects related to LoRaWAN optimizations for efficient IoT networks. Finally, we identify key research challenges and open issues in LoRaWAN optimizations for IoT networking operations that must be further studied in the future.

“…Authors also proposed an approach in which only LoRaWAN gateways need to be modified. Moreover, work in [96] addressed mobility aspects through a handover roaming mechanism for LoRaWAN, where devices can use 5G or LoRaWAN authentication to enable interoperability between both technologies. Authors also implemented and validated their solution in an integrated 5G-LoRaWAN testbed.…”

“…Some LPWAN technologies present mobility capabilities, even in roaming scenarios, such as LoRaWAN [20]. The main related issue is not having a native support to the technology but an interoperable one, as remarked by Torroglosa-Garcia et al in [96], where they proposed a mobility solution, which employed 5G to provide an interoperable roaming solution, either by running a standard 5G authentication or doing it through a LoRaWAN network.…”

The convergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G will open a range of opportunities for the deployment of enhanced sensing, actuating and interactive systems as well as the development of novel services and applications in a plethora of fields. Given the processing and communication limitations of both IoT devices and the most novel IoT transmission technologies, namely, Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN), there are notable concerns regarding certain security issues to be overcome in order to achieve a successful integration of LPWAN systems within 5G architectures. In this survey work, we analyze the main security characteristics of LPWANs, specially focusing on network access, and contrast them with 5G security requirements and procedures. Besides, we present a comprehensive review and analysis of research works proposing security solutions for the 5G-LPWAN integration. Finally, we explore open issues and challenges in the field and draw future research directions. From our analysis, it is evident that many efforts are being devoted from the academia, industry and Standards Developing Organizations (SDOs) for achieving the desired confluence of IoT and 5G worlds. We envision a successful integration of both ecosystems by exploiting novel lightweight security schemes addressing the stringent security requirements of 5G while being assumable by constrained IoT devices.
