| Summary: | Low-power wide area network is a new wireless communication technology designed for low-power consumption
together with long-distance communications, and LoRa technology is one of the leading technology solutions. The
long-range connection between end-nodes and gateway is achievable by LoRa devices due to star-based network
topology and modulation techniques used in wireless communication of the technology. One of the main features of
LoRa technology is the ability to scale. Modelling and simulation can interpret the actual network behaviour of LoRa
technology as accurate as possible. This paper aims to investigate the performance of the low-power wide area
network technology focusing on capability of the network to scale. We model the network system based on the
behaviours of the communication between the end-node and gateway. The simulation to study the scalability was
done based on several parameters, such as the number of end-nodes, application time and the number of channels
used by the end-node. The results show that the amount of successfully received data signal at gateway increased as
the application time and channel used increased. |
