## Abstract (arXiv)

LPWAN service's inexpensive cost and long range capabilities make it a promising addition and countless satellite companies have started taking advantage of this technology to connect IoT users across the globe. However, LEO satellites have the unique challenge of using rechargeable batteries and green solar energy to power their components. LPWAN technology is not optimized to maximize battery lifespan of network nodes. By incorporating a MAC protocol that maximizes node the battery lifespan across the network, we can reduce battery waste and usage of scarce Earth resources to develop satellite batteries.
