Abstract

Peatland forest fires threaten biodiversity, ecosystems, and human health in Southeast Asia, especially during the dry season. Limited in-situ data collection necessitates Long Range (LoRa) sensor-based remote monitoring for its long-range communication, low power consumption, and cost-effectiveness. However, dense vegetation affects Low-Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) signal propagation through scattering, reflection, and diffraction, impacting data transmission. This study investigates LoRa RF propagation in peatland environments through a measurement campaign at Raja Musa Forest Reserve (RMFR), Selangor. File transfer success rate (FT%) across various land-cover types was analyzed using six Data Rate (DR) and Spreading Factor (SF) configurations. Results show that DR5/SF7 and DR0/SF12 achieve over 80% FT% in moderate and dense vegetation, respectively. The findings enhance LoRa RF planning in challenging ecosystems, offering practical guidelines to improve data transmission reliability in RMFR and other peatlands.

马来西亚半岛泥炭地森林监测和管理解决方案：LoRa数据的最佳参数

泥炭地森林火灾威胁着东南亚的生物多样性、生态系统和人类健康，特别是在旱季。有限的现场数据收集需要基于远程（LoRa）传感器的远程监控，以实现远程通信、低功耗和成本效益。然而，茂密的植被通过散射、反射和衍射等方式影响低功率广域网（Low-Power Wide Area Network， LPWAN）信号的传播，影响数据的传输。本研究通过在雪兰莪州拉贾穆萨森林保护区（RMFR）的测量活动，调查了LoRa RF在泥炭地环境中的传播。采用六种数据速率（DR）和扩散因子（SF）配置分析了不同土地覆盖类型的文件传输成功率（FT%）。结果表明，DR5/SF7和DR0/SF12在中等植被和茂密植被中分别达到80%以上的FT%。这些发现增强了具有挑战性的生态系统中的LoRa射频规划，为提高RMFR和其他泥炭地的数据传输可靠性提供了实用指南。
