LoRa is an emerging wireless standard specifically designed for Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWANs). It provides long range, low data rate, and energy efficient wireless communication and is believed to have high potential for realization of a large number of Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Various research papers have already reported on the performance analysis of LoRaWAN protocol in terms of radio communication range, and reliability for outdoor environments, while performance analysis for indoor environments have not yet received enough attention. In this paper, we provide an in-depth performance evaluation of LoRa for indoor IoT applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
