LoRaWAN network topology and deployment

The topology and deployment scheme of the LoRaWAN network have a significant impact on its performance and coverage. The following is a detailed introduction to the LoRaWAN network topology and deployment:

1. LoRaWAN network topology

The LoRaWAN network mainly adopts a star topology. The specific topology includes the following components:

1.1 End Devices

Features: These devices communicate with one or more gateways via the LoRa wireless link. The end device can be a sensor, actuator, etc.

Communication mode: The communication between the end device and the gateway is single-hop, that is, data is sent directly to the gateway via the wireless link.

1.2 Gateways

Features: The gateway receives the LoRa signal sent by the end device and forwards the data to the network server via the IP network.

Multi-gateway reception: The data sent by the same end device can be received by multiple gateways, which increases the redundancy and reliability of the network.

1.3 Network Server

Function: Responsible for data deduplication, device management, data routing, security control, etc.

Redundant processing: The network server will process redundant copies of the same data packet to ensure data integrity and reliability.

1.4 Application Server

Function: Receive data forwarded by the network server and execute specific application logic, such as data analysis, processing and storage.
