Enabling LoRaWAN Communication with Out-of-coverage End Nodes in DTN Scenarios Through an Optimised Duty-cycle

This paper presents the idea of using LoRaWAN based sensors in isolated areas with intermittent gateway presence. The intent is to expand the network coverage to areas with no preexisting infrastructure, and automate the data collection process in Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) scenarios. The use case considered in the paper is that of ocean monitoring, where sensor nodes can be deployed far from th...
