Abstract

LoRa (Long Range) is a widely adopted Internet-of-Things (IoT) technique, but its fatal limit is a low data rate. In this letter, we propose a new index modulation for LoRa to increase the data rate, in which multiple quasi-orthogonal chirps modulated under different spreading factors (SFs) are concurrently transmitted, thereby leveraging the SF domain as a means to carry more information. Both coherent and non-coherent detection algorithms for the proposed index modulation are also developed in efficient forms. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed scheme notably outperforms the state-of-the-art techniques.
