LoRA_Data_Descriptor_Experiment

The file includes the Received Signal Strength indicator values of a LoRa network installed in the NW1 building at the University of Bremen, Germany. The network consists of 4 gateways and the data is acquired to analyse the placement of these gateways. The analysis reveals that at certain locations across multiple floors, not all packets were successfully received. Factors such as signal interference and gateway placement were identified as potential causes for packet loss. The performance of four gateways was also analyzed, highlighting variations in reception rates and outliers. The results emphasize the importance of strategic gateway placement and coverage optimization for ensuring reliable LoRa network performance. Recommendations are provided for improving gateway placement to enhance reception rates. This study contributes valuable insights for the planning and implementation of LoRa networks in real-world environments.
