Abstract
An IoT service of a provider network may be used to provision edge devices with duplicate device identifiers for edge devices that use a radio communication protocol (e.g., LoRaWAN). This may allow a service provider to accept legitimate registration requests from edge devices instead of automatically rejecting them. When the IoT service receives a registration request, the service determines whether there are other devices registered with the same device ID. If so, then the service determines whether to accept or reject the request. For example, the service may determine whether the number of duplicate device IDs being used for registered devices will remain within a predefined threshold if the device is registered. If so, then the service registers the device. Otherwise, the service rejects the request.
