Overview#

LoRaWAN LoRaWAN defines the communication protocol and system architecture for the network, while the LoRa Physical Layer enables the long-range communication link.

LoRaWAN is also responsible for managing the:

• communication frequencies
• data rate
• power for all devices

Devices in the network use Asynchronous Operation and transmit when they have data available to send. Data transmitted by an end-node device are received by multiple Gateways, which forward the data Packets to a centralized network server.

Data is then forwarded to Application servers. The technology shows high reliability for the moderate load, however, it has some performance issues related to sending acknowledgements
