LoRaWan capacity simulation and field test in a harbour environment

Low-power Internet of Things (IoT) solutions have become the main enabler for automated metering and monitoring. One of the use cases can be monitoring occupation of boat spots in a harbour. For this purpose Long Range Wide area network (LoRaWan) seems a promising technology, as it offers wide coverage and low power consumption. This paper describes and documents the simulation and field test phases in order to develop an IoT system for...
