DOLL: Efficient DOwnLink Communication for Increased LoRaWAN Capacity – DOLL
One of the most representative technologies for long-range networks, LoRaWAN, has gained global momentum. Telecommunication operators like Bouygues Telecom, Orange, and KPN have deployed several thousand LoRaWAN gateways each to accelerate innovation in areas such as smart cities, environmental monitoring and intelligent transport systems. However, the capacity of LoRaWAN is considerably limited by the downlink communication (from the gateway to the end nodes), due to factors like gateway hardware properties, European regulations of the 868MHz open band, and current specifications of the LoRaWAN protocol. The goal of this project is to propose a new protocol that increases network capacity in the presence of downlink communication and that is energy efficient for the end nodes, while not hindering the reliability of uplink communication.
