Analytical and Simulation study for LoRa Modulation
Résumé
In this paper, the performance of Long Range (LoRa) Internet of Things (IoT) technology is investigated. By considering Chirp Spread Spectrum (CSS) technique of LoRa, an approximation of the Bit Error Rate (BER) is presented and evaluated through intensive simulations. Unlike previous works which present the BER of LoRa in terms of the ratio of energy ber bit to noise ratio only without any proofing, our presented work expresses BER in terms of LoRa's modulation patterns such as the spreading factor, the code rate, the symbol frequency and the SNR. Numerical results are carried out in order to investigate the LoRa performance and to illustrate the accuracy of the new BER expression. © 2018 IEEE.
