INTERNET OF THINGS | Ob Smart Home, Smart Building oder Smart City – Stadtwerke sollten die neuen Betätigungsfelder mithilfe der Long-Range-Wide-Area-Network (LoRaWAN)-Funktechnologie rasch besetzen, rät Steffen Heudtlaß, bei der MeterPan GmbH verantwortlicher Geschäftsentwickler. Das Unternehmen aus Norderstedt unterstützt Versorger beim Schritt in die Welt des Internet of Things (IoT).

SMART CITY | Internet-of-Things (IoT)-Technologien wie Long Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN) erobern die Städte. Ein klassisches Einsatzfeld ist die Parkraumüberwachung. Die Funklösung kann beispielsweise zuverlässig verhindern, dass Falschparker im Ernstfall Rettungswege oder Feuerwehrzufahrten von Gebäuden und öffentlichen Einrichtungen blockieren.

Smart city implementation, such as smart energy and utilities, smart mobility & transportation, smart environment, and smart living in urban areas is expanding rapidly worldwide. However, one of the biggest challenges that need to be solved is the selection of the appropriate internet of things (IoT) connectivity technologies. This research will seek for the best candidate low power wide area network (LPWAN) technologies such as long-range wide area network (LoRaWAN), narrow-band internet of things (NB-IoT), and random phase multiple access (RPMA) for IoT smart city deployment in Bandung city is based on IoT network connectivity between with six technical evaluation criteria: gateway requirements, traffic/data projection, the best signal level area distribution, and overlapping zones. Bass model is carried out to determine the capacity forecast. While in coverage prediction, LoRaWAN and NB-IoT use the Okumura-Hata propagation, and Erceg-Greenstein (SUI) model is used for RPMA. Based on the simulation and performance evaluation results, RPMA outperforms LoRaWAN and NB-IoT. It required the least gateway number to cover Bandung city with the best signal levels and overlapping zones.

A Long-Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN) is one of the most efficient technologies and is widely adopted for the Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The IoT consists of massive End Devices (EDs) deployed over large geographical areas, forming a large environment. LoRaWAN uses an Adaptive Data Rate (ADR), targeting static EDs. However, the ADR is affected when the channel conditions between ED and Gateway (GW) are unstable due to shadowing, fading, and mobility. Such a condition causes massive packet loss, which increases the convergence time of the ADR. Therefore, we address the convergence time issue and propose a novel ADR at the network side to lower packet losses. The proposed ADR is evaluated through extensive simulation. The results show an enhanced convergence time compared to the state-of-the-art ADR method by reducing the packet losses and retransmission under dynamic mobile LoRaWAN network.

The low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) paradigm is gradually gaining market acceptance. In particular, three prominent LPWAN technologies are emerging at the moment: LoRaWAN™ and SigFox™, which operate on unlicensed frequency bands, and NB-IoT, operating on licensed frequency bands. This paper deals with LoRaWAN™, and has the aim of describing a particularly interesting feature provided by the latest LoRaWAN™ specification—often neglected in the literature—i.e., the roaming capability between different operators of LoRaWAN™ networks, across the same country or even different countries. Recalling that LoRaWAN™ devices do not have a subscriber identification module (SIM) like cellular network terminals, at a first glance the implementation of roaming in LoRaWAN™ networks could seem intricate. The contribution of this paper consists in explaining the principles behind the implementation of a global LoRaWAN network, with particular focus on how to cope with the lack of the SIM in the architecture and how to realize roaming.

The smart grid, as a communication network, allows numerous connected devices such as sensors, relays and actuators to interact and cooperate with each other. An Internet-based solution for electricity that provides bidirectional flow of information and power is internet of energy (IoE) which is an extension of smart grid concept. A large number of connected devices and the huge amount of data generated by IoE and issues related to data transmission, process and storage, force IoE to be integrated by cloud computing. Furthermore, in order to enhance the performance and reduce the volume of transmitted data and process information in an acceptable time, fog computing is suggested as a layer between IoE layer and cloud layer. This layer is used as a local processing level that leads to reduction in data transmissions to the cloud. So, it can save energy consumption used by IoE devices to transmit data into cloud because of a long range, low power, wide area and low bit rate wireless telecommunication system which is called LoRaWAN. All devices in fog domain are connected by long range wide area network (LoRa) into a smart gateway.  The gateway which bridges fog domain and cloud, is introduced for scheduling devices/appliances by creating a priority queue which can perform demand side management dynamically. The queue is affected by not only the consumer importance but also the consumer policies and the status of energy resources.

Standar terbuka pada sistem komunikasi LoRa (Long Range) menyebabkan perbedaan cara implementasi dalam setiap penggunaannya. LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) sebagai protokol bawaan LoRa masih mempunyai beberapa kekurangan yang menyebabkannya kurang efektif untuk diimplementasikan pada sistem tertentu. Penelitian ini mengembangkan protokol SLP (Simple LoRa Protocol) sebagai alternatif protokol komunikasi dan arsitektur jaringan yang didesain berdasarkan kekurangan yang dimiliki oleh LoRaWAN. Protokol ini mendefinisikan format data dan proses komunikasi antara client dan gateway dalam mode setup untuk pendaftaran node secara mandiri dan polling untuk transaksi data. Proses setup mampu mengenali node dengan konfigurasi sensor beragam dan dapat mengirmkan data dari node ke gateway dengan baik. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa SLP menghasilkan peningkatan performa QoS dalam throughput dan packet loss dari LoRaWAN menggunakan modulasi yang sama.
