Design, Implementation and Evaluation of a LoRa Packet Generator for Forest Environments

Evaluating the performance of LoRa in different operating conditions, especially when LoRa is adopted as communication technology for enabling applications in rural environments, is a key challenge. LoRa performance is affected by the values assigned to several parameters, such as the Spreading Factor (SF), the Code Rate (CR), etc. To this purpose, at first, we designed and implemented a flexible,...
