Effects of Shadowing on LoRa LPWAN Radio Links IJECEIAES
LoRaWAN is a long-range, low-power, wireless telecommunications method; expected to play a big role for the Internet of Things. End appliances use LoRaWAN through a single wireless hop to communicate with gateways linked to the Internet that function as transparent bridges relaying messages amongst these end-devices and a central network server. This technology youtes a combination of extended range, low power utilization and protected data communication and is gaining significant traction in IoT networks being deployed by wireless network operators. However, no comprehensive evaluation of the technology exists in the open literature.

5. Overview
LR-WPANs stands for low-rate wireless personal area
networks.
Wireless personal area networks (WPANs) are used to
convey information over relatively short distance.
Unlike wireless local area networks (WLANs),
connections effected via WPANs involve little or no
infrastructure. This feature allows small, power-efficient,
inexpensive solutions to be implemented for a wide
range of devices.
Typically operating in the personal operating space
(POS) of 10m.

10. General Description
A LR-WPAN is a simple, low-cost communication
network that allows wireless connectivity in applications
with limited power and relaxed throughput requirements.
Some of the characteristics of an LR-WPAN are:
Over-the-air data rates of 250 kb/s, 40 kb/s, and 20 kb/s.
Star or peer-to-peer operation
Allocated 16 bit short or 64 bit extended addresses
Allocation of guaranteed time slots (GTSs)
Carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance
(CSMA-CA) channel access
Fully acknowledged protocol for transfer reliability
10 WITS Lab, NSYSU.
11. General Description
Low power consumption
Energy detection (ED)
Link quality indication (LQI)
16 channels in the 2450 MHz band, 10 channels in the 915
MHz band, and 1 channel in the 868 MHz band
Two different device types can participate in an LR-
WPAN network:
Full-function device (FFD)
Can talk to RFDs or other FFDs.
Reduced-function device (RFD)
Can only talk to an FFD.
Intended for applications that are extremely simple.
11 WITS Lab, NSYSU.
12. Components of the IEEE 802.15.4 WPAN
The most basic component in the IEEE 802.15.4 WPAN
is the device.
A device can be an RFD or an FFD.
Two or more devices within a POS communicating on
the same physical channel constitute a WPAN.
A network shall include at least one FFD, operating as
the PAN coordinator.
An IEEE 802.15.4 network is part of the WPAN family
of standards.
12 WITS Lab, NSYSU.
13. Network Topologies
Depending on the application requirements, the LR-
WPAN may operate in either of two topologies: the star
topology or the peer-to-peer topology.
Each independent PAN will select a unique identifier.
13 WITS Lab, NSYSU.
14. Star Topology
The communication is established between devices and
a single central controller, called the PAN coordinator.
A PAN coordinator is the primary controller of the PAN.
The PAN coordinator may be mains powered, while the
devices will most likely be battery powered.
Applications that benefit from a star topology include
home automation, personal computer (PC) peripherals,
toys and games, and personal health care.
14 WITS Lab, NSYSU.
15. Star Network Formation
After an FFD is activated for the first time, it may
establish its own network and become the PAN
coordinator.
All star networks operate independently from all other
star networks currently in operation. This is achieved by
choosing a PAN identifier, which is not currently used
by other network within the radio sphere of influence.
Once the PAN identifier is chosen, the PAN coordinator
can allow other devices to join its network; both FFDs
and RFDs may join the network.
15 WITS Lab, NSYSU.
16. Peer-to-Peer Topology
The peer-to-peer topology also has a PAN coordinator.
Any device can communicate with any other device as
long as they are in range of one another.
Allows more complex network formations to be
implemented, such as mesh networking topology.
Applications such as industrial control and monitoring,
wireless sensor networks, asset and inventory tracking,
intelligent agriculture, and security would benefit from
such a network topology.
Can be ad hoc, self-organizing and self-healing.
Allow multiple hops to route messages from any device
to any other device on the network.
16 WITS Lab, NSYSU.
17. Peer-to-peer Network Formation
Each device is capable of communicating with any other
device within its radio sphere of influence.
One device will be nominated as the PAN coordinator,
for instance, by virtue of being the first device to
communicate on the channel.
An example of the use of the peer-to-peer
communications topology is the cluster-tree.
The cluster-tree network is a special case of a peer-to-peer
network in which most devices are FFDs.
An RFD may connect to a cluster tree network as a leave node
at the end of a branch, because it may only associate with one
FFD at a time.

19 WITS Lab, NSYSU.
20. PHY Sublayer
The PHY provides two services
The PHY data service
The PHY management service interfacing to the physical layer
management entity (PLME).
The PHY data service enables the transmission and
reception of PHY protocol data units (PPDUs) across
the physical radio channel.
The features of the PHY are activation and deactivation
of the radio transceiver, ED, LQI, channel selection,
clear channel assessment (CCA), and transmitting as
well as receiving packets across the physical medium.

23. MAC Sublayer
The MAC sublayer provides two services:
The MAC data service
The MAC management service interfacing to the MAC
sublayer management entity (MLME) service access point
(SAP).
The MAC data service enables the transmission and
reception of MAC protocol data units (MPDUs) across
the PHY data service.
The features of the MAC sublayer are beacon
management, channel access, GTS management, frame
validation, acknowledged frame delivery, association,
and disassociation.
23 WITS Lab, NSYSU.
24. Superframe Structure
The LR-WPAN standard allows the optional use of a superframe
structure.
The format of the superframe is defined by the coordinator.
The superframe is bounded by network beacons, is sent by the
coordinator, and is divided into 16 equally sized slots.
The beacon frame is transmitted in the first slot of each
superframe.
If a coordinator does not wish to use a superframe structure, it
may turn off the beacon transmissions.
The beacons are used to synchronize the attached devices, to
identify the PAN, and to describe the structure of the superframes.
24 WITS Lab, NSYSU.
27. Frame Structure
The LR-WPAN defines four frame structures
A beacon frame, used by a coordinator to transmit beacons
A data frame, used for all transfers of data
An acknowledgement frame, used for confirming successful
frame reception
A MAC command frame, used for handling all MAC peer
entity control transfers
27 WITS Lab, NSYSU.
