An innovative LPWA network scheme to increase system reliability in remote monitoring

Abstract

This paper presents a smart system based on Low Power Wide Area networks for a remote monitoring of technological room in unstaffed railway stations. The paper aim is the design of an efficient network scheme characterized by improved performance compared with the standard solution. Adopting an innovative smart System Control Strategy and a custom network topology, good results are reached in terms of reliability without increasing the amount of devices with respect the standard scheme.
