Energy Consumption Model for Sensor Nodes Based on LoRa and LoRaWAN

Abstract

Energy efficiency is the key requirement to maximize sensor node lifetime. Sensor nodes are typically powered by a battery source that has finite lifetime. Most Internet of Thing (IoT) applications require sensor nodes to operate reliably for an extended period of time. To design an autonomous sensor node, it is important to model its energy consumption for different tasks. Each task consumes a power consumption amount for a period of time. To optimize the consumed energy of the sensor node and have long communication range, Low Power Wide Area Network technology is considered. This paper describes an energy consumption model based on LoRa and LoRaWAN, which allows estimating the consumed power of each sensor node element. The definition of the different node units is first introduced. Then, a full energy model for communicating sensors is proposed. This model can be used to compare different LoRaWAN modes to find the best sensor node design to achieve its energy autonomy.

Performance Optimization LoRa Network by Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm to Determination of the Load Profiles in Dwellings

“…The papers [44][45][46][47] analysed the different configuration parameters: the carrier frequency (CF), SF, BW, and CR in a LoRA network. The combination of these parameters provides different energy values and transmission ranges: CF: is the centre frequency used for the transmission band.…”

“…The nominal bit-rate (in bits per second) is obtained taking into account these parameters. Moreover, the expression of the bit-rate is given in Equation (5) [44,45]:…”

Industrial Opportunities and Challenges for Perovskite Photovoltaic Technology

“…The measured data are transmitted to the cloud, following which the device goes back to the sleep mode. This working principle results in a low power consumption (under 10 μW) for most of the time, requiring 100 mW only for 1 s in an hour for the transmission . These values were measured by a proof‐of‐concept device developed by Orange Labs Networks using the newer class of power management components specially designed for energy harvesting.…”

Exploring the Performance Boundaries of NB-IoT

“…4 In our experiments we used the B-L072Z-LRWAN1 platform, values for an alternative platform (LoRaWAN Multitech mDot) can be found in [25]. Complementary work can be found in [26]. 5 Smart metering is a good example for which this simple model is valid 64 44 121 209 10 16 29 58 103 51 128 62 138 226 17 26 115 256 61 161 276 28 242 512 49 143 250…”
