• LoRaWAN can auto-magically manage SF for each
end-device:
• To optimize for fastest data rate versus range
• For maximize battery life, and
• Achieves maximum network capacity
LoRa-Alliance.org
• License free Sub-GHz Frequencies
• Europe: 868 MHz Band
• Network channels can be freely attributed by the network
operator
• 3 mandatory channels that all gateways should constantly receive:

LoRaWAN™ Network Topology
Gateways Network Application
Server Servers
Sub-GHz RF
LoRa-Alliance.org
LoRaWAN™ Network Protocol Security
• Based on 802.15.4 Security
• AES-128
• Enhancements:
• Network Session Key (NwkSKey)

• Each end-device class has different behavior
depending on the choice of optimization:
• Battery Powered – Class A
• Low Latency – Class B
• No Latency – Class C
LoRa-Alliance.org
• Battery Powered – Class A
• Bidirectional communications
• Unicast messages
• Small payloads, long intervals
• End-device initiates communication (uplink)
• Server communicates with end-device (downlink) during
predetermined response windows:
Transmit RX1 RX2
RxDelay1
RxDelay2
LoRa-Alliance.org
• Low Latency – Class B
• Bidirectional with scheduled receive slots
• Unicast and Multicast messages
• Small payloads, long intervals
• Periodic beacon from gateway
• Extra receive window (ping slot)
• Server can initiate transmission at fixed intervals

• Unicast and Multicast messages
• Small payloads
• Server can initiate transmission at any time
• End-device is constantly receiving
Transmit RX2 RX1 RX2

Extends RX2 until next TX
LoRa-Alliance.org
• Before an end-device can communicate on the LoRaWAN
network, it must be activated
• The following information is required:
• Device Address (DevAddr)
• Network Session Key (NwkSKey)
• Application Session Key (AppSKey)
LoRa-Alliance.org
• Application Session Key (AppSKey)
• 128-bit AES encryption key
• Unique per end-device
• Shared between End-device and Application Server
• Used to encrypt / decrypt application data messages
• Provides security for application payload
LoRa-Alliance.org
• To exchange this information, two activation methods are
available:
Over-the-Air Activation (OTAA) Activation By Personalization (ABP)
Based on Globally Unique Identifier Shared keys stored at production time
Over the air message handshaking Locked to a specific network
LoRa-Alliance.org
• Over-the-Air-Activation (OTAA)
• End-device transmits Join Request to application server
containing:
— Globally unique end-device identifier (DevEUI)
— Application identifier (AppEUI)
— Authentication with Application key (AppKey)
• End-device receives Join Accept from application server
(continued…)
LoRa-Alliance.org
• Over-the-Air-Activation (OTAA)
• End-device authenticates Join Accept
• End-device decrypts Join Accept
• End-device extracts and stores Device Address (DevAddr)
• End-device derives:
— Network Session Key (NwkSKey) Security
— Application Session Key (AppSKey) Keys
LoRa-Alliance.org
• Activation By Personalization (ABP)
• The following information is configured at production time:
— Device Address (DevAddr)
— Network Session Key (NwkSKey)
— Application Session Key (AppSKey)
• No over the air handshaking
• Device is ready to communicate on the network without any
additional procedure.

The LoRaWAN Specification and Future Roadmap
Alper Yegin, Technical Committee Co Chair, Actility
LoRa-Alliance.org
Technical Committee Work
• LoRaWAN1.0 1.0.1 1.0.2
• Regional Parameters 1.0
• LoRaWAN1.1
• Backend Interfaces 1.0
LoRa-Alliance.org
LoRaWAN versions : 1.0 1.0.1
• 1.0.1 is available on the portal for download for members only
• It includes a lot of typo correction and clarifications
• The only functional difference between 1.0 and 1.0.1 is the correction of
the device’s hidden state problem when changing DL parameters
• This version will not be made public, internal use only
LoRa-Alliance.org
LoRaWAN versions : 1.0.1 1.0.2

• Brunei [923-925 MHz]
• EU [863-870MHz] • Cambodia [923-925 MHz]
• EU [433MHz] • Indonesia [923-925 MHz]
• Russia [863-870MHz] • Japan [920-928 MHz]
• New-Zealand [915-928MHz] • Laos [923-925 MHz]
• Australia [915-928MHz] • New Zealand [915-928 MHz]

• South Korea [920.9-923.3MHz] • Thailand [920-925 MHz]
• China [779-787MHz ] • Vietnam [920-925 MHz]
LoRa-Alliance.org
APAC Channel Plan: How does it work ?
• Device starts to broadcast Join-request on 923.2 & 923.4MHz at SF10
• This is designed to be legal in all countries of the cluster (output power , time-on-
air < 400msec)
• The NS sends a Join-accept, then a TXParamSetupReq MAC command
• Sets maximum dwell time
• Max EIRP
• The NS sends NewChannelReq MAC command to define the exact channel
frequencies to be used

Handover Roaming
• Device is handed-over to
another network operator
device
LoRa-Alliance.org
What do we need to introduce to make it work?
• For Handover Roaming:
• Device broadcasts a special “Rejoin-request” frame
LoRa-Alliance.org
Need Backend Interfaces
• When an unknown device appears, the visited network must be able to:
• Identify the home network of the device
• Authenticate and authorize the device with the help of the home network
• Create a data-path to the home network
LoRa-Alliance.org
Network Reference Model
LoRa-Alliance.org
Identifiers
• DevEUI
• 64-bit Extended Unique Id (EUI-64) of the device
— EUI-64: Globally unique, needs OUI from IEEE Registration Authority
• Assigned by the device owner/manufacturer Managed ID
• AppEUI JoinEUI (renamed in R1.1) spaces...
• EUI-64 id of the Join Server, assigned by the JS owner/operator
• NetID Use of random IDs
• 24-bit network identifier would cause
• Globally unique, assigned by the LoRa Alliance
— Needs sponsor/contributor level membership (1-year provisional ok).
operational issues
— Needed for roaming, private/experimental networks use NetID=0 or 1 mod 128. to you and others
• DevAddr
• 32-bit ephemeral device ID assigned by the serving network
• Uses 7 LSB of NetID as prefix + 25-bit suffix
LoRa-Alliance.org
External LoRaWAN Security Review
• Alliance has hired external security expert to perform a review of the
LoRaWAN 1.1 protocol
• No major flaws
• Several recommendations are being incorporated in LoRaWAN1.1
Quick reminder:
The LoRaWAN guarantees the integrity & confidentiality of all data over the
air. If the device must be tamper resistant then specific hardware has to be
used, this is outside the scope of LoRaWAN protocol specification.
