Massive Machine Type Communication and Satellite Integration for Remote Areas

5-min paper series aims to overview recent published works in about 5 min. Abstract: Despite immense progress along the different tracks, the wireless connectivity for machine-applications in remote areas is still very challenging. To address this vital need, in this paper, we discuss and advocate the convergence between the low power wide area network (LPWAN) grade massive machine-type communication (mMTC) wireless technologies and the satellite (especially low earth orbit, LEO) systems. In the paper, we discuss the alternative implementation approaches allowing for such convergence and highlight some of their pros, cons, and challenges. Furthermore, we obtain a more in-depth insight into the matter by simulating and analyzing the LoRaWAN LPWAN sensors' performance served by an LEO satellite-based gateway. Our results demonstrate the feasibility of such a system and illustrate some of the relevant trade-offs between the network configurations and communication performance. These results motivate to take a more profound look at such systems and the challenges they introduce. We highlight some of them and the potential directions for further studies in the final sections.
