Performance evaluation of LoRa LPWAN technology for IoT-based blast-induced ground vibration system

Abstract

The recent proliferation of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) evolution into the Internet of Things (IoT) vision enables a variety of low-cost monitoring applications which allows a seamless transfer of information via embedded computing and network devices. Ambiguous ground vibration can be induced by blasting demolition is a severe concern which grievously damages the nearby dwellings and plants. It is an indispensable prerequisite for measuring the blast-induced ground vibration (BIGV), accomplishing a topical and most active research area. Thus, proposed and developed an architecture which emphasizes the IoT realm and implements a low-power wide-area networks (LPWANs) based system. Especially, using the available Long-Range (LoRa) Correct as Radio Frequency (RF) module, construct a WSN configuration for acquisition and streaming of required data from and to an IoT gateway. The system can wirelessly deliver the information to mine management and surrounding rural peoples to aware of the intensity of BIGV level. In this article, an endeavor has been made to introduce a LoRa WAN connectivity and proved the potentiality of the integrated WSN paradigm by testing of data transmission-reception in a non-line of sight (NLOS) condition. The path loss metrics and other required parameters have been measured using the LoRa WAN technology at 2.4 GHz frequency.

Assessing the Performance of ZigBee RF Protocol using Path loss models for IoT Application

“…The rapid proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT) has ushered in a new era of connected devices and applications, each demanding efficient and reliable wireless communication protocols The key features of modern IoT devices [3] consume less power and can be established free communication between them by using 2.4 GHz which is the ISB band that requires no permission from any authority. This is of four types: Bluetooth protocol, Zigbee protocol, and LoRa protocol.…”
