Hi all,

Here are my comments after reading the overview document:
page 4.
LoRaWAN acronym?
page 8.
NwkID in Table 3, is it supposed to be NetID?
p.9
DevEUI and AppEUI
I think they refer to the device and the application MAC addresses
in 64-bits
p. 13
The 3GPP radio protocol architecture is illustration in Figure 4
s/illustration/illustrated

control plane protocol stack and data plane protocol stack section
numbering is missing
p.14
EPC not defined
Fig. 1, Fig. 7 refer to non-3GPP architectures which means LoRaWAN, SIGFOX
and Wi-SUN are basically IEEE 802.15.4 type of technologies?

Regarding battery life, referred to on Page 11 for NB-IoT and p.15 for
SIGFOX, p.21 for Wi_SUN,
if these technologies are used to connect devices like refrigerators which
are almost always powered up, why long term battery life is an issue?
On the other hand the use on the pets is a different issue.

Regards,

Behcet
