A Study of LoRa - Long Range and Low Power Networks For The Internet of Things

This document summarizes a presentation on LoRa and its performance evaluation. It provides an overview of LoRa including its protocol stack and parameters. It then describes experiments to test LoRa's receiver sensitivity, network coverage using a testbed in Paris, and compares its performance to ALOHA. The conclusion discusses analyzing LoRa's sensitivity and coverage based on data rate and spreading factor from field tests. Future work proposes updating a paper with simulations from this and implementing a LoRa testbed.
