The conventional LoRa system is not able to sustain long-range communication over fading channels. To resolve the challenging issue, this paper investigates a two-hop opportunistic amplify-and-forward relaying LoRa system. Based on the best relay-selection protocol, the analytical and asymptotic bit error rate (BER), achievable diversity order, coverage probability, and throughput of the proposed system are derived over the Nakagamim fading channel. Simulative and numerical results show that although the proposed system reduces the throughput compared to the conventional LoRa system, it can significantly improve BER and coverage probability. Hence, the proposed system can be considered as a promising platform for low-power, long-range and highly reliable wireless-communication applications.

In this paper, we investigate the uplink transmission performance of low-power wide-area (LPWA) networks with regards to coexisting radio modules. We adopt long range (LoRa) radio technique as an example of the network of focus even though our analysis can be easily extended to other situations. We exploit a new topology to model the network, where the node locations of LoRa follow a Poisson cluster process (PCP) while other coexisting radio modules follow a Poisson point process (PPP). Unlike most of the performance analysis based on stochastic geometry, we take noise into consideration. More specifically, two models, with a fixed and a random number of active LoRa nodes in each cluster, respectively, are considered. To obtain insights, both the exact and simple approximated expressions for coverage probability are derived. Based on them, area spectral efficiency and energy efficiency are obtained. From our analysis, we show how the performance of LPWA networks can be enhanced through adjusting the density of LoRa nodes around each LoRa receiver. Moreover, the simulation results unveil that the optimal number of active LoRa nodes in each cluster exists to maximize the area spectral efficiency.
A network consisting of $n$ source-destination pairs and $m$ relays is considered. Focusing on the large system limit (large $n$), the throughput scaling laws of two-hop relaying protocols are studied for Rayleigh fading channels. It is shown that, under the practical constraints of single-user encoding-decoding scheme, and partial channel state information (CSI) at the transmitters (via integer-value feedback from the receivers), the maximal throughput scales as $log n$ even if full relay cooperation is allowed. Furthermore, a novel decentralized opportunistic relaying scheme with receiver CSI, partial transmitter CSI, and no relay cooperation, is shown to achieve the optimal throughput scaling law of $log n$.
Wireless energy harvesting (WEH) has been recognized as a promising technique to prolong the lifetime of energy constrained relay nodes in wireless sensor networks. Its application and related performance study in three-step two-way decode-and-forward (DF) relay networks are of high interest but still lack sufficient study. In this paper we propose a dynamic power splitting (PS) scheme to minimize the system outage probability in a three-step two-way energy harvesting DF relay network and derive an analytical expression for the system outage probability with respect to the optimal dynamic PS ratios. In order to further improve the system outage performance, we propose an improved dynamic scheme where both the PS ratios and the power allocation ratio at the relay are dynamically adjusted according to instantaneous channel gains. The corresponding system performance with the improved dynamic scheme is also investigated. Simulation results show that our proposed schemes outperform the existing scheme in terms of the system outage performance and the improved dynamic scheme is superior to the dynamic PS scheme.
LoRa is a modulation technology for low power wide area networks (LPWAN) with enormous potential in 5G era. However, the performance of LoRa system deteriorates seriously in fading-channel environments. To tackle this problem, in this paper we introduce multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) configuration employing space-time block coding (STBC) schemes into the LoRa system to formulate an STBC-MIMO LoRa system. Then, we investigate the theoretical performance of the proposed system over Rayleigh fading channels. To this end, we derive the distribution of the decision metric for the demodulator in the proposed system. Based on the above distribution, we propose the closed-form approximated bit error rate (BER) expression of the proposed system when perfect and imperfect channel information states (CSIs) are considered. In addition, we analyze the diversity order of the proposed system. The result demonstrates that the diversity order of the system in the imperfect CSI scenario with fixed channel estimate error variance is zero. However, in the imperfect CSI scenario with a decreasing channel estimate error variance and the perfect CSI scenario, the system can achieve full diversity. Finally, experimental results verify the accuracy of the theoretical analysis and the excellent performance of the proposed system. Due to such superiority, the proposed STBC-MIMO LoRa system can be considered as a good scheme for LPWAN.
Interest in selection relaying is growing. The recent developments in this area have largely focused on information theoretic analyses such as outage performance. Some of these analyses are accurate only at high SNR regimes. In this paper error rate analyses that are sufficiently accurate over a wide range of SNR regimes are provided. The motivations for this work are that practical systems operate at far lower SNR values than those supported by the high SNR analysis. To enable designers to make informed decisions regarding network design and deployment, it is imperative that system performance is evaluated with a reasonable degree of accuracy over practical SNR regimes. Simulations have been used to corroborate the analytical results, as close agreement between the two is observed.
