Energy Consumption Evaluation of LoRa Technology

Lora is a wireless technology that has been developed to enable low data rate communications to be made over long distances especially for IoT applications. With growing Internet of things, Lora technology addresses the increasing demands on end devices for long range connectivity with low power battery consumption and also with low infrastructure cost to deploy. Lora utilizes a spread spectrum modulation and protocol in Sub-Ghz RF band to enable long range greater than 10 km with low power and high network capacity. In this thesis, I would like to give some comprehensive introduction about Lora specifications. As we know that Lora consumes low power to transmit the data packets given to the physical layer and the query is to know in which range of low power lies. This will be the outcome of my thesis with energy measurements for transmitting a data packet. This also includes different configurations of the devices
