ABSTRACT
Near-real-time (nRT) ocean observations are critical for the sustainable management of coastal as well as offshore regions, including implementation of early warning systems, mitigation of pollution, response to extreme events and natural hazards. This can be achieved via the implementation of the so-called Ocean of Things, which consist of distributed networks of low-cost sensors enabling the acquisition of real-time or near-real-time data in support of the sustainable management of aquatic environments. In this project, we propose a LoRa-based system for sensor data collection at sea through mobile LoRa gateways mounted in ships. The sensor nodes will keep looking for mobile gateways, while trying to conserve energy, and will transmit their data as soon as a gateway ship approaches. The system aims at extending the LoRa network from the cities to the shore and finally to the open ocean.

Internet of Fish: Integration of acoustic telemetry with LPWAN for efficient real-time monitoring of fish in marine farms
Highlights- IoF enables real-time monitoring of fish by merging LPWAN & acoustic telemetry.
AbstractThe aim of this study was to develop and test the feasibility of a concept called Internet of Fish (IoF). State-of-the-art acoustic telemetry systems could enable farmers to acquire behavioural data of fish in fish farms, however, the ...
Design, implementation, and evaluation of a shared LoRa network application architecture
This research proposes an internet of things application architecture based on the essence of 'sharing and reciprocity' - a shared LoRa network application architecture. To prove the feasibility of this architecture, we designed and implemented a pet ...
Low-Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN) for Communications of Mobile Sensor Data
SCC '19: Proceedings of the 2nd ACM/EIGSCC Symposium on Smart Cities and CommunitiesThere are multiple options for communication of data to and from mobile sensors. For tracking systems, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is often used for localization and mobile-phone technologies are used for transmission of data. Low-power ...
