Abstract

The LoRaWAN communication protocol is more and more used in the Internet of Things (IoT) concept. Many research centers have addressed the problem of wireless sensor networks, thus making a sustained effort in increasing the performance of WSN networks. The IoT concept promises to revolutionize and change the way we do our daily business and allow us to overcome current challenges such as the energy crisis, resource depletion and environmental pollution. The potential of the IoT concept is immense and comes to solve the major challenges of the M2M (Machine-to-Machine) industry. LPWA (Low-Power Wide-Area) wireless networks come to complete the traditional wireless and short-range wireless communications technologies in order to fulfill the various requirements of IoT applications. LoRa modulation is using a chirp (Compressed High Intensity Radar Pulse) spread spectrum (CSS) technique which offer resilience to interference, great communication link budget, performance at low power while being resistant to multi-path propagation fading and Doppler effect. The main contribution of this paper is the performance evaluation and sustainability analysis of LoRa technology.
