“Análisis comparativo entre tecnologías LoRaWAN y GSM/GPRS a fin de evaluar métricas como el rendimiento, consumo de energía y cobertura para transmisiones de datos en escenarios IoT.”

Abstract

This article analyzes the data transmission between LoRa and GSM technologies in an urban and rural setting through a monitoring system of humidity and temperature sensors in the Arduino environment, in order to compare based on metrics such as the performance which is determined by the packet sending time and the number of packets received and lost, regarding coverage is measured from the signal intensity and energy consumption is quantified through the electrical power emitted depending on the shipping time. This information will be uploaded and stored on the cloud server. Finally, the results of the tests carried out are determined where each of the technologies stand out based on the established metrics, with LoRa being the one with the best performance, with 27.00% lower lost packets and 84.65% lower energy consumption.
