Characterization of the Behavior of LoRa Networks in a Fluvial Environment in the Rio Negro

Abstract

Few articles study the transmission and analysis of data captured in rivers that cross a city using LoRa radiofrequency. LoRa is a network that was specially developed for the construction and development of Internet of Things services. Among its main features, there are long-range, low power, and wireless data transmission. This work presents a characterization of Lo-Ra networks in a fluvial environment in the Rio Negro (bridge) and a semi-urban environment. Where the transceiver will cross the bridge over the Rio Negro, crossing the other bank and continuing its route in a semi-urban region. The Sect. 1 is an introduction, then a brief description of the LoRa network is made. In the Sect. 3, the physical layer is addressed. In the following section, a description of the methodology of this article is made and finally, the results obtained and a conclusion were verified.
