초록

LoRa는 네트워크에 대부모 트리 구조와 처프 확산 스펙트럼을 도입한 물리 계층 기술로 높은 신뢰도의 장거리 통신을 제공한다. LoRa의 트리 네트워크에서 자식 노드는 단일 부모가 아닌 여러 노드에게 동시에 메시지를 전송할 수 있기 때문에 동일 부하가 네트워크에 가해진다면 패킷 전달률은 게이트웨이의 수의 증가에 따라 증가한다. 하지만 알로하류의 원시적 매체 접근 제어의 한계 때문에 이러한 트리 환경에서도 부하의 증가에 따라 네트워크의 이용률은 하락한다. 본 논문에서는 동일 주파수를 동일 시간대, 동일 지역에서 사용하는 공간 분할 다중 접근 방식을 제안한다. 본 기법은 수집된 신호 세기의 분포로부터 송신 전력을 도출하여 같은 시간, 다른 게이트웨이에서 각기 다른 패킷이 수신되도록 제어한다. 즉, 포획 효과를 의도적으로 활용하여 저전력 광역 네트워크의 노드 수용력을 향상시킨다.

LoRa is a physical layer technology designed to secure highly reliable long-range communication with introducing loco parentis tree network and chirp spreading spectrum. Since since a leaf can send message to more than one parents simultaneously with a single transmission in a region, packet delivery ratio increases logarithmically as the number of gateways increases. The delivery ratio, however, dramatically collapses even under loco parentis tree topology due to the limitations of ALOHA-like primitive MAC, . The proposed method is intended to exploit SDMA approach to reuse frequency in an area. With the view, TxPower of each sender for each message in a concurrent transmission is elaborately controlled to survive the collision at different gateway. Thus, the gain from the capture effect improves the capacity of resource-hungry Low Power and Wide Area Networks.
