LoRa technology integrates digital spread spectrum, digital signal processing and forward error correction coding technology, realizes long-distance transmission with low power consumption, changes the balance between transmission power consumption and transmission distance, in battery-powered In wireless communication scenarios, using LoRa for data transmission has obvious advantages. It presents a new communication technology that can achieve long distance, long battery...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, the commonly used LoRa base stations (gateways or concentrators) are basically half-duplex base stations with 8+1 channels. From the perspective of the number of channels, the uplink and downlink are seriously asymmetrical. From the perspective of working mode, they are all half-duplex. Industrial communication, that is, when the base station sends data downlink, it cannot receive the uplink data packet of the terminal. The longer the time for downlinking one packet of data, the greater the possibility of packet loss. Taking SF12 as an example to send a 64-byte downlink packet, the sending time Up to 2.8 seconds, very prone to packet loss

With an asymmetric channel, the terminal cannot receive a response when sending, and cannot timely perceive whether the data packet is successfully transmitted. The entire communication link is open-loop, and the communication is extremely unreliable.

In the Internet of Things, the frequency of terminal packet sending itself is low. If one data packet is lost, it means that there is no data for one day or even longer. If the network is abnormal or the server is restarted, subsequent packet verification errors will occur. According to the LoRaWAN specification , it may be half a month or even longer without knowing that the network is disconnected, resulting in the failure of follow-up business based on this data, so the whole system is unreliable and incomplete
