In this study, the uplink performance of Sigfox and LoRa is evaluated in a controlled propagation environment (reverberation chamber). This evaluation is performed in terms of transfer error rate as a function of calibrated path loss, which allows a direct comparison of the performance of both systems under statistically similar propagation conditions. The analysis of the results shows that the proposed setup and testing methodology can be useful for comparing the many new wireless IoT technologies in a practical setting.
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.
