TL;DR: The link budget, achievable data rate and packet size design of the IEEE 802.11ah radio technology can be selected to satisfy in most of the cases a reliable communication link while providing better coverage and relatively comparable throughput when compared to other existing solutions like ZigBee.

TL;DR: An analytical model is provided to compute the throughput and energy consumption of IEEE 802.11ah, the new Sub-1 GHz WiFi standard, and shows that the RAW mechanism can provide substantial improvements in the system performance, in terms of throughput, packet delay andEnergy consumption.

TL;DR: This paper analyzes the performance of the RAW mechanism in the Non-Cross Slot Boundary case under various possible holding schemes and proposes new holding schemes as well as a new grouping scheme for RAW mechanism based on backoff states of the stations.

TL;DR: An extensive analysis of the performance evaluation and enhancement study of the IEEE 802.11ah network when multi-access points (multi-APs) with relatively high number of associated stations (STAs) are considered, which confirms the importance of the Restricted Access Window mechanism to improve substantially the overall system performance.

TL;DR: This work begins with a comprehensive overview of the novel features introduced by the latest IEEE 802.11ah specifications followed by the development of a powerful mathematical framework capturing the essential properties of a massive MTC deployment with unsaturated traffic patterns.
