Abstract

Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) networks aim at connecting low cost devices with high constraints on the link budget. Focusing on the physical layer, the combination of Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) modulation and coding in the same process has been shown efficient when associated to a turbo receiver. This paper considers the optimization of Turbo-FSK parameters for the LPWA context using the EXtrinsic Information Transfer (EXIT) Chart analysis. After adapting the metric to the FSK waveforms, EXIT chart performance results are extended and compared to short packet lengths using extensive Bit Error Rate (BER) computations.
