Low Power Wide Area Networks are the fundamental keys of the internet of Things (IoT). These networks provide long-range coverage to end nodes, exploiting license-free frequency bands and the sub 1Ghz communications. In this paper we evaluate and analyze using NS-3 network simulator, the uplink throughput of the two promises networks IEEE 802.11ah and LoRaWAN all by implementing the maximum number of the end devices served by a single base station. Also in the second scenario where the nodes are depends on the distance from the base station. In the conclusion we brief and compare the obtained results, and we make actions to be taken in case of making applications or deployments using these networks.
