name: LPWA
full_form: Low-power, wide-area
context: This document captures the findings from the study item "Study on further NR RedCap UE complexity reduction" [2]. The study concerns potential solutions for reducing UE complexity further compared to the RedCap UE type introduced in Rel-17 [3], providing NR support for low-tier devices between existing LPWA UEs and Rel-17 RedCap UEs to further expand the market for RedCap use cases with relatively low cost, low energy consumption, and low data rate requirements, targeting 10 Mbps peak rate. The study focuses on UE bandwidth reduction to 5 MHz and/or UE peak rate reduction to 10 Mbps, possibly in combination with relaxed UE processing timeline. The scope of the study includes support for FR1 bands for FDD and TDD and coexistence with Rel-15/16/17 UEs. The scope of the study does not include LPWA use cases.
description: Low-power, wide-area (LPWA) refers to a class of wireless communication technologies designed for low-power consumption and wide-area coverage, typically used in IoT applications. In the context of 3GPP TS 38.865, LPWA is mentioned as a reference point for comparing the complexity reduction of RedCap UE types.
explanation: LPWA is classified as a Technology because it describes a specific type of wireless communication technology with defined characteristics (low-power and wide-area coverage) relevant to the field of telecommunications.
