The proposed framework returns the most cost-effective network layout in terms of gateways position, gateways backhaul configuration and LoRaWAN physical parameters configuration under tight constraints of end node coverage, end-to-end message transmission latency and message extraction rate. Numerical results obtained on realistic network instances demonstrate that the proposed approach leads to network configuration with superior performance with respect to coverage-only classical design policies.2018http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/16400310.1109/PIMRC.2018.8580875http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/164003oai:zaguan.unizar.es:164003info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MEC/CAS17-00624info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/TEC2014-52969-Rinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/UZ/UZ2018-TEC-04IEEE International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications, PIMRC 2018 (2018), [7 pp.]All rights reservedhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
