ENERGY-AWARE ALGORITHM FOR LORA TECHNOLOGY: PROTOTYPE IMPLEMENTATION

The internet of Things (IoT) is an umbrella term describing large interconnected systems including sensor networks, typically exploiting wireless links and supporting fixed and mobile communications. LoRa (LongRange) is a popular Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) standard designed for the IoT, because of its satisfactory performance and relatively low cost. The MAC layer protocol of LoRa is LoRaWAN (LongRange Wide Area Network) is one of them. LoRaWAN is a technical solution for physical and partially connected network layers. The article proposes an algorithm to ensure the quality of service traffic, latency and data loss, as well as to provide an efficient way to consume energy. We are implementing a prototype for edge computing based on LoRa. Numerical results show the proposed architecture will play a key role in building private LoRa networks.
