Analysis of Low Power Wide Area Wireless Technologies for IoT Networking in Digital Cities

U teorijskom dijelu ovog diplomskog rada opisane su sve glavne bežične tehnologije koje se koriste za bežični prijenos podataka u pametnim gradovima te su u CupCarbon simulatoru izvedena tri praktična scenarija. Rezultati praktičnih scenarija slažu se s teorijskom podlogom opisanom ranije. Također su opisane sve glavne tehnologije za bežični prijenos kratkog dometa, a to su: Bluetooth, WiFI, NFC, RFID i ZigBee. ZigBee tehnologiju karakterizira najmanji domet i najmanja potrošnja energije, što je i prikazano u prvom praktičnom scenariju. Nadalje, LoRa tehnologiju karakterizira najveći radijus pokrivanja, ali s manjom potrošnjom energije od WiFi tehnologije, što je također prikazano u prvom praktičnom scenariju. WiFi tehnologiju karakterizira srednji radijus pokrivenosti, ali i najveća potrošnja energije.The theoretical part of this graduate thesis describes all important wireless technologies used for wireless data transmission in smart cities, and also three scenarios that are performed in the CupCarbon simulator. The results of the practical scenarios match with the theoretical background described earlier. It also describes all the major technologies for short range wireless transmission, including: Bluetooth, WiFI, NFC, RFID and ZigBee. ZigBee technology is characterized by the smallest coverage area and the lowest power consumption, which is demonstrated in the first practical scenario. Furthermore, LoRa technology is characterized by the highest coverage area, but also by the lower energy of WiFi technology, which is also shown in the first practical scenario. WiFi technology is characterized by medium coverage area, but also by the highest power consumption
