Abstract

One of the most widely used communication protocol in the Internet of Things, for collecting information in cities, are LoRa and the LoRaWAN protocol. Thanks to star topologies, operators can, therefore, collect electricity, water or gas consumption remotely and automatically. Unfortunately, some equipment is placed in difficult environments such as tunnels, cellars or wastewater drains. In this paper, we present the 1st fault-tolerant LoRa LoRaWAN relay solution working in LoRaWAN class A and our experimental results that we have been running for almost 1 year on SPOT (https://spot.objenious.com/) and The Things Network platforms. This solution solves the problem of sensor access to a gateway with our relay while respecting the LoRaWAN standard. The access to the medium is managed by our solution in order to avoid collisions.
