Simple Protocol Design of Multi-Hop Network in Lora

Abstract

Long Range (LORA) is a device capable of communicating remotely with LPWAN topologies. LPWAN cannot do multi-hop so this research needed to be done. There are several multi-hop supporting algorithms such as Media Access Control (MAC) and routing table. This paper discusses a simple routing table algorithm and messages delivered with the requirement that the next node is bigger or smaller than what is sent. Node tables and proposed method in single multi-hop produced 99% PDR.
