Analysis of Coverage in LoRa using secured IoT Systems

Abstract

Long Range (LoRa) is an unlicensed Low Power Wide Area Network for the application of the Internet of Things (IoT). This LoRa technology is mainly suitable for smart city applications since this technology consumes low power, low cost, and transfer information over a long distance. This technology proposes a new communication standard to tackle discrete IoT applications. This technology works based on Chirp Spread Spectrum (CSS) technique with a larger bandwidth. LoRa deploys the whole channel bandwidth to transmit the signal which results in, to avoid channel noise, Doppler impacts, and fading. This paper mainly focuses on the impact of three parameters namely, Code Rate (CR), Spreading Factor (SF), Bandwidth (BW). Furthermore, analysis the effect of the data rate and transmission time using Code Rate (CR), Spreading Factor (SF), and Bandwidth to extend coverage.
