To cope with the exponential rise of emerging technology, there have been significant developments in intelligent communication systems aimed at low power and longrange wireless Internet of Things (IoT) communication. Among the various number of leading low power wide area network (LPWAN) technologies, Long Range (LoRa) has emerged to be an attractive solution to connect devices in free bands. Operating in unlicensed bands requires connected objects to reduce their energy consumption. To this end, one of the adopted techniques is the random access to the radio channel, which leads to an increase in the probability of packet collisions. In this paper, we propose a new receiver capable to decode several IoT LoRa-Like signals simultaneously received with the same Spreading Factor which leads to destructive collisions. Based on the particular structure of the received signals and the Successive Interference Cancellation (SIC) algorithm, we propose a novel approach to decode superposed LoRa-like signals iteratively. Simulations and real LoRa deployments are presented to validate the efficiency of our receiver.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
