Research and Development of a Routing Method in a Lora Network

The subject area of the work is the coverage area expanding and energy consumption optimization in the heterogeneous Internet of Things (IoT) environment. The research object is the high-latency multi-step heterogeneous LoRa-Iridium network. This work aims to design and develop software-hardware complex for solving applied IoT problems, including routing method in the LoRa segment of the LoRa-Iridium heterogeneous satellite network on the Internet of Remote Things. As a result, a simple tool was developed for LoRa network proof-of-concept creation. Moreover, the proposed hardware-software complex can be used in solving diverse problems. Furthermore, the application of the developed complex to achieve an end-devices even discharge in hard-to-reach regions is discussed. The work consists of 89 pages, contains 43 illustrations, 7 tables, 17 formulas and 4 applications. The number of references is 34.
