Abstract

A variety of long-range (LoRa), low-power, and low bit-rate wireless network technologies have been made possible by the Internet of Things' (IoT) rapid growth. As a radio technology for the implementation of numerous Internet of Things applications, the LoRa low-power wide area network (LPWAN) has gained prominence. LoRa is frequently used in conjunction with the Long-Range Wide Area Network Media Access Control (LoRaWAN MAC) protocol and functions in the Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) bands, which are unlicensed. As a result of receiving a wide variety of different message sizes from diverse applications, LoRa networks experience scalability issues when the number of end nodes connected to one network is more than the shared number of channels. This results in collisions and packet loss. In this paper, heuristic gateway placement for minimal transmission power & collision probability in an internet of things low power wide area network (HGPMTPIOT-LPWAN) is proposed to increase network efficiency, and improve overall performance by measuring collision probability, which in turn can help to reduce the need for retransmissions and packet drop rate. The things network simulator is used to measure the collisions and packet drop rate. An improved performance for HGPMTPIOT as against the efficient graph-based gateway placement (EGBGP) for large-scale LoRaWAN deployments is achieved for packet drop rate by 6%. Likewise, the simulation results show improvements in terms of decreasing the collision probability for 20 to 60 nodes by 20%.
