Özet

LoRaWAN is a Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) technology which enables low cost and low power IoT device communication even in dense urban areas. LoRa modulation is capable of extracting data from a weak signal in noisy environments. This modulation technique can be useful for the delivery of critical data in the noisy environment. In this study, we investigate LoRaWAN technology in the context of data transmission for health care systems (or critical health data in disaster environments). In the study, we explore the standard and evaluate data frame transmission in LoRaWAN with a custom test-bed system.
