6. Meeting Achievements Reviewed use-case list
September 2017
Meeting Achievements
Reviewed use-case list
Identified use-cases already perfectly covered by existing systems
Identified use-cases with potential for a new LPWAN standard
The identified LPWAN use-cases require low payload bit-rates and are characterized by interference in license-exempt bands
Minor improvements of the FEC encoding using existing IEEE technology could significantly increase the performance in highly interfered channels
Final recommendation to WG is the formation of a SG to create a highly focused CSD and PAR

Presentation of the results during the November WNG and decision to create new SG
Start of development of focused PAR and CSD already in IG LPWA
Official approval of SG/TG during March plenary
