Abstract

Background: The evolution of Long Range Wide Area Networks (LoRaWAN) is a potential candidate for next generation networks for managing the massive number of devices in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). LoRaWAN is more suitable for transmitting smaller intermittent data but using smaller bandwidth over a long distance.

Objective: This research paper proposes to design a Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) to provide long-range data transfer for Industrial IoT applications, especially for industrial sensor data.

Methods: This research work deploys the experimental setup of LoRaWAN devices using LoRa gateways and Internet of Things network server to evaluate its performance for IIOT applications.

Results: The deployment of this LoRaWAN has demonstrated its long range, low power, stability and low deployment cost through extensive performance evaluation carried out. LoRaWAN has been analyzed for its coverage and throughput performance.

Conclusion: Through performance analysis, potential enhancements have been identified to overcome its shortcomings. This paper concludes the feasibility of deploying LoRaWAN technology for the future generation IIOT applications.
