Abstract

In this poster, we discuss design options for a LoRaWAN and LoRa transmission system to employing Information-Centric Networking (ICN). ICN has been successfully applied to LoWPAN scenarios and can provide many benefits with respect to object-based security, performance, disruption tolerance and usability. Our findings indicate that the current LoRaWAN MAC layer is impractical for an ICN request-response with caching. We present ideas for a new MAC layer that harmonizes the long-range LoRa radios with ICN.
