Application of LoRaWAN and Sigfox in Different Agricultural Scenarios

The deployment of two Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) technologies, Sigfox and LoRaWAN, in several agricultural environments is investigated in this article. Learning how appropriate communication procedures like Sigfox and LoRaWAN are for various kinds of circumstances is absolutely important offered the growing use of Internet of Things (IoT) options in agriculture. The research provides a comparative analysis of these innovations concerning their energy use throughout several release contexts, consisting of improperly inhabited rural regions and intensively populated agricultural areas. One single design is produced to duplicate both scenarios and examine the energy economy and coverage of every technology using MATLAB.

Abstract

The deployment of two Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) technologies, Sigfox and LoRaWAN, in several agricultural environments is investigated in this article. Learning how appropriate communication procedures like Sigfox and LoRaWAN are for various kinds of circumstances is absolutely important offered the growing use of Internet of Things (IoT) options in agriculture. The research provides a comparative analysis of these innovations concerning their energy use throughout several release contexts, consisting of improperly inhabited rural regions and intensively populated agricultural areas. One single design is produced to duplicate both scenarios and examine the energy economy and coverage of every technology using MATLAB. The simulation findings reveal that whilst Sigfox is a better fit for sparse situations where power conservation is crucial, LoRaWAN is better for dense websites demanding higher data rates and frequent interaction. The outcomes offer fascinating data for picking the suitable IoT interaction innovation for agriculture, for that reason, promoting more practical and effective resource management. The paper likewise highlights future directions of research study, including the integration of hybrid networks and investigation of performance steps besides power consumption.
