Hi ICNRG,

some of us have been thinking of how to apply ICN or Information-Centric principles to long-range low-power networks. Often people would either run some form of ICN over LoRaWAN (neither very robust nor efficient) or connect ICN systems to so-called application servers in systems such as TTN.

We have taken a different approach and have re-designed LoRaWAN by replacing its limited MAC layer with the Deterministic and Synchronous Multi-Channel Extension (DSME) extension to IEEE 802.15.4e, a flexible MAC layer that consists of contention-access and contention-free periods, and, by running ICN on top of that.

The results are quite promising so far and, we believe, would allow for a much more interesting and useful design of LoRa networks in the future.

Joint work with Peter Kietzmann, José Alamos, Thomas C. Schmidt, and Matthias Wählisch – details here: https://dirk-kutscher.info/publications/lora-icn-2/

Best regards,
Dirk
