“…From the SFs, the transmission data rate from the IoT nodes to the satellites in orbit can be determined and, thus, the number of messages each satellite can receive in its orbital period. The LoRa protocol uses various SFs to determine the type of communication, which determines the spectral efficiency of the transmission and affects the data rate [48].…”

This study outlines a technical framework for Internet of Things (IoT) communications on Mars, leveraging Long Range (LoRa) technology to connect Martian surface sensors and orbiting satellites. The designed architecture adapts terrestrial satellite constellation models to Martian environments and the specific needs of interplanetary communication with Earth. It incorporates multiple layers, including Martian IoT nodes, satellite linkage, constellation configuration, and Earth communication, emphasizing potential Martian IoT applications. The analysis covers four critical feasibility aspects: the maximum communication range between surface IoT nodes and orbiting satellites, the satellite constellation’s message processing capacity to determine IoT node volume support, the communication frequency and visibility of IoT nodes based on the satellite constellation arrangement, and the interplanetary data transmission capabilities of LoRa-based IoT devices. The findings affirm LoRa’s suitability for Martian IoT communication, demonstrating extensive coverage, sufficient satellite processing capacity for anticipated IoT node volumes, and effective data transmission in challenging interplanetary conditions. This establishes the framework’s viability for advancing Mars exploration and IoT in space exploration contexts.

“…Long-Range Wide-Area Network (LoRaWAN) [17,18] is a technology that could internet connect multiple devices over the internet in a much-secured manner. The LoRaWAN is inspired by Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) due to its capacity to communicate across large distances [19]. LoRaWANs offer low-power, low-cost, long-range, and lowdata-rate communication.…”

A significant technological transformation has recently occurred in the agriculture sector. Precision agriculture is one among those transformations that largely focus on the acquisition of the sensor data, identifying the insights, and summarizing the information for better decision-making that would enhance the resource usage efficiency, crop yield, and substantial quality of the yield resulting in better profitability, and sustainability of agricultural output. For continuous crop monitoring, the farmlands are connected with various sensors that must be robust in data acquisition and processing. The legibility of such sensors is an exceptionally challenging task, which needs energy-efficient models for handling the lifetime of the sensors. In the current study, the energy-aware software-defined network for precisely selecting the cluster head for communication with the base station and the neighboring low-energy sensors. The cluster head is initially chosen according to energy consumption, data transmission consumption, proximity measures, and latency measures. In the subsequent rounds, the node indexes are updated to select the optimal cluster head. The cluster fitness is assessed in each round to retain the cluster in the subsequent rounds. The network model’s performance is assessed against network lifetime, throughput, and network processing latency. The experimental findings presented here show that the model outperforms the alternatives presented in this study.

LoRa is an ISM-band based LPWAN communication protocol. Despite their wide network penetration of approximately 20 kilometers or higher using lower than 14 decibels transmitting power, it has been extensively documented and used in academia and industry. Although LoRa connectivity defines a public platform and enables users to create independent low-power wireless connections while relying on external architecture, it has gained considerable interest from scholars and the market. The two fundamental components of this platform are LoRaWAN and LoRa PHY. The consumer LoRaWAN component of the technology describes the network model, connectivity procedures, ability to operate the frequency range, and the types of interlinked gadgets. In contrast, the LoRa PHY component is patentable and provides information on the modulation strategy which is being utilized and its attributes. There are now several LoRa platforms available. To create usable LoRa systems, there are presently several technical difficulties to be overcome, such as connection management, allocation of resources, consistent communications, and security. This study presents a thorough overview of LoRa networking, covering the technological difficulties in setting up LoRa infrastructures and current solutions. Several outstanding challenges of LoRa communication are presented depending on our thorough research of the available solutions. The research report aims to stimulate additional research toward enhancing the LoRa Network capacity and allowing more realistic installations.
