LoRa Transmission Power Self Con?guration for Low Power End Devices

Abstract

This paper introduces a new way of creating a self-configurable LoRa end device in order to achieve a better efficiency in terms of power consumption. The correct configuration of LoRa parameters can make the difference between a device battery last 100 times more. The proposed method evaluates the sensibility of the receiver when the transmitter uses an array of different Transmission Powers to decide which is the best to create a viable link. Besides the proposed methodology, this paper includes a real case scenario implementation and result discussions.
