Title
Simultaneous frame transmission for critical LoRaWAN communications
Abstract
LPWAN, an acronym for Low Power Wide Area Network, addresses all the wireless communication solutions aiming at maximize the lifetime of battery powered end devices by means of high-sensitivity radios and sporadic data transactions. Among the different members of the LPWAN family, LoRaWAN is an emerging solution satisfying requirements of many Internet of Things (IoT) related applications. LoRa WAN supports both public and private deployments, operating in unlicensed frequency bands. Handling critical messages, e.g., originated after emergency events in industrial plants, is out of the original LoRaWAN scope. For this reason, the LoRa-REP replication scheme was proposed to increase reliability and to reduce latency of confirmation. In this work, obtainable performance are further improved allowing frame overlaps in time and frequency, exploiting LoRa virtual channels. In particular, Software Defined Radio paradigm is exploited for implementing a proof-of-concept to be used in real-world trials. The preliminary results, supported by simulations as well, are discusses, confirming the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed approach.
