Performance Evaluation of Linear LoRa Network Protocol

Abstract

The Internet of Thing (IoT) applications such as industrial, agriculture, smart home applications are demanding strong requirements about distances and power consumption. LoRa (Long Range) is a novel solution for these requirements. LoRa is a spread spectrum modulation technique derived from chirp spread spectrum (CSS) technology. LoRa technology can be applied to public, private or hybrid networks. Multi-hop LoRa linear protocol is a new protocol using LoRa technology. In the paper, we evaluate the performance of this protocol by data reception rate, successful tree construction rate in different condition. Our results show that LoRa linear protocol has high reliability and easy to apply to the real-environment.
