Edge-processing based LoRa networks

[mebab]

Hi,
I am familiar with the low-speed nature of LoRa communications and extra regulations that restrict LoRaWAN bandwidth. I am looking for applications of Edge-processing based LoRa or LoRaWAN networks where they have theoretical benefits such as reducing the payload size, and power consumption of the nodes, etc. Do you have any idea what applications they can be used for?

Many thanks in advance,

Yes, yes I do.

Perhaps you could kick off with some ideas and the companies solving these problems as this looks a bit like another round of:

Hi. I know that this group focuses on LoRaWAN and I have seen the TTN limitations and rules on the number of packets linked to this methodology that might limit the LoRa applications.
I have been developing a node-to-node application for years and it is ready to use for higher data rates now. Does anybody know if those limitations in LoRAWAN has to be applied to node-to-node cases in practice?

Thanks for your comments.

And yes, I do have that good a memory!

Sorry, but this doesn’t really make much sense.

Edge processing in the LoRaWAN context would mean at the gateway, and that’s simply not how LoRaWAN is designed to work - all of the key information, secrets, and knowledge is kept central.

To actually reduce node power you’d have to have on-device schemes that were invoked even before radio transmission. You’re free to do that, but they’re not really part of LoRaWAN but rather strategies of what you might do before even involving it.
