The manner of efficiency and effective of power usage is the main objective in electricity consumption, one major steps to control the usage is by providing a monitoring to aim the power usage data and process it to information needed. Internet of Things benefit in power and electricity has involved sensors to work as data reader continuously.  LoRa or well known as Long Range radio communication system work with chirp spread spectrum which work from 920 to 923 Mhz in Indonesia. This paper presents implementation of LoRa system to support the prototype of energy monitoring in Solar Home System off-grid

Here, we propose a new modulation method using chirp spread spectrum (CSS) modulation to indicate the result of long-range acoustic communication (LRAC). CSS modulation had outstanding matched filter characteristics even though the channel was complex. The performance of the matched filter depends on the time–bandwidth product. We studied the method of using the same modulation method while increasing the amount of the time–bandwidth product. When differential encoding is applied, the de-modulation is made using the difference between the current symbol and the previous symbol. If the matched filter is applied using both the current and the previous symbol, such as the use of two symbols, the amount of the time–bandwidth product can be doubled, and this method can make the output of the matched filter larger. The proposed method was verified in lake and sea experiments, in which the experimental environment was analyzed and compared with the result using the channel impulse response (CIR) of the lake and sea. The lake experiment was conducted over a distance of about 100–300 m between the transmitter and receiver and at a depth of ~40 m. As a result of the communication, the conventional method’s bit error rate (BER) was 1.22×10−1, but the proposed method’s BER was 1.98×10−2. The sea experiment was conducted over a distance of ~90 km and at a depth of ~1 km, and the conventional method BER in this experiment was 1.83×10−4, while the proposed method’s BER was 0.

The Long Range (LoRa) technology was first developed by SemTech Company. LoRa is a wireless technology developed for long-range, low-power, low-bit rate and chirp spread spectrum (CSS) radio modulation technology, it also provides the ability to connect to sensors more than 15-30 miles away in rural areas.In this study, we present the LoRa system architecture with the functionality of each component and several typical application scenarios of LoRa network.LoRa is widely used into many applications, such as smart metering, factory monitoring and also it can be used to provide sensor information to communities to provide disaster alerts. LoRa networks allow for very long wireless links that can connect villages and towns. LoRa network is emerging as one of the most promising Low Power Wide Area networks (LPWAN).LPWANs represent a new trend in the evolution of the wireless communication designed to enable broad range of Internet of Things (IoT) applications.

AbstractLinear chirp spread spectrum technique is widely used in underwater acoustic communication because of their resilience to high multipath and Doppler shift. Linear frequency modulated signal requires a high spreading factor to nearly reach orthogonality between two pairs of signals. On the other hand, nonlinear chirp spread spectrum signals can provide orthogonality at a low spreading factor. As a result, it improves spectral efficiency and is more insensitive to Doppler spread than the linear counterpart. To achieve a higher data rate, we propose two variants (half cycle sine and full cycle sine) of the M-ary nonlinear sine chirp spread spectrum technique based on virtual time-reversal mirror (VTRM). The proposed scheme uses different frequency bands to transmit chirp, and VTRM is used to improve the bit error rate due to high multipath. Its superior Doppler sensitivity makes it suitable for underwater acoustic communication. Furthermore, the proposed method uses a simple, low-power bank of matched filters; thus, it reduces the overall system complexity. Simulations are performed in different underwater acoustic channels to verify the robustness of the proposed scheme.

Abstract: The basic idea of this project is to save the life of fishermen at sea. We do this by installing a module in the fisherman’s life jacket. This module will be a transmitter which can transmit its current location. This module is made to be a floating module. Which is also waterproof. The person in the dangerous situation can press the button and the transmitter starts transmitting the location. The data is then transferred to the receiver via a network built by WLAN module which is also made by us. The WLAN module consists of the transmitter and the receiver and acts as repeater stations. These transmitters and receivers also contain the LoRa module. The LoRa module is Incorporated because of its long range communication specifications. The repeater station is placed buoy the help of buoys. Buoys are floating objects which are then anchored to make them stationary. The receiver is a portable one and dynamically we can get the location of the transmitter. Hence we can locate the person and then rescue them Keywords: LoRa, WLAN, GPS module,

To solve the poor location accuracy of wireless sensor networks using Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) ranging. Time Of Flight (TOF) ranging is used to ensure the accuracy based on two optional physical layer of Impulse Radio-Ultra Wide-Band (IR-UWB) and Chirp Spread Spectrum (CSS) in IEEE802.15.4a. In this paper, we designed ranging module utilizing CSS and UWB. In the Line Of Sight (LOS) and None Line Of Sight (NLOS) environments ranging accuracy test is implemented, the test results show that the IR-UWB ranging technology can achieve higher ranging accuracy and better multipath resistance compared to CSS.

Abstract Current industries leave a big ecological footprint that needs to be reduced to preserve our resources. For it, big industries are leading new researches to move to more environmental-friendly technologies. In this paper we explain an innovative technology which has the ability to introduce edge-computing in the node in combination with energy harvesting, which allows the device to work without the need of batteries. Also, as all the computations are performed in the node, it allows the use of long-range communication protocols. To demonstrate the behavior of the technology, the paper also presents two cases of use in facilities.
