Abstract

With the advent of IoT revolution, installation and deployment of various outdoor sensors in multiple technology verticals is wide rampant. Typical outdoor LANs cases include sensor backhaul, urban–rural broadband connectivity, and emergency management networks. To facilitate these scenarios, the Medium Access Layer (MAC) needs to enable wireless long range, improved power management, enhanced scalability of associated Stations (STAs), and interference management schemes. The IEEE 802.11ah (Wi-Fi HaLow) standard aims at long distance, scalable and low data rate network. In this paper, the design of 802.11 channel access and media layer for long-distance outdoor networks is discussed.
