Abstract

In this paper, we derive the Bit Error Probability (BEP) of cooperative LoRa using multihop Decode and Forward (DF) relaying. We have fixed the total transmitted energy per bit for any number of hops with uniform power allocation to the source and relay nodes. The analysis is valid for Rayleigh and Nakagami channels with arbitrary fading figure \(m=1,2,3,4\), etc. The theoretical results have been confirmed with computer simulations and show that the BEP decreases as the number of hops increases and the fading figure m increases.
