## SCOPE

Low-power wide area networks for Internet of Things (e.g., LoRa, NB-IoT) have attracted increasing research interest and efforts recently. Despite their rapid proliferation, there are many challenges and unsolved problems on the path towards reliable large-scale real-world applications. This workshop aims to bring researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry together to explore the challenges and opportunities in the design, development, implementation, and deployment of low-power networks for Internet of Things in challenging wide area environments.

The 2nd International Workshop on Wireless outdoor, Long-Range and Low-Power Networks (WoLoLo), in conjunction with IEEE WoWMoM 2024, is intended to be a forum to share the experiences about latest research regarding low-power and long range wireless networks ranging from novel architectures, power-management and efficient on-sensor processing to protocols and systems for long-range communication including network management. Experiences, challenges, and also failures of real world deployments are also highly welcome to be discussed in this workshop. The main topics of the workshop shall fall into at least one of the following categories:

* Protocol design for Low-power long-range networks
* Low-power long-range network system implementation
* Software tools and codes for low-power long-range network design and implementation
* On-Sensor processing for data and bandwidth reduction
* Power-management techniques for long-term operation of long-range networks
* Techniques to improve the performance of low-power long-range networks
* Practical experiences with LoRa(WAN), NB-IOT, etc system designs
* Datasets gathered from real-world applications for low power networks
* Integration of low-power long-range networks into the Internet of Things
