Popis
Shrnutí:LoRa technology is a recent technology belonging to the Low Power and Wide Area Networks (LPWANs), which offers distinct advantages for wireless communications and possesses unique features. Among others, it can be used for localization procedures offering minimal energy consumption and quite long-range transmissions. However, the exact capabilities of LoRa localization performance are yet to be employed thoroughly. This article examines the efficiency of the LoRa technology in localization tasks using Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA) measurements. An extensive and concrete experimental study was conducted in a real-world setup on the University of Patras campus, employing both real-world data and simulations to assess the precision of geodetic coordinate determination. Through our experiments, we implemented advanced localization algorithms, including Social Learning Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Least Squares, and Chan techniques. The results are quite interesting and highlight the conditions and parameters that result in accurate LoRa-based localization in real-world scenarios in smart cities. In our context, we were able to achieve state-of-the-art localization results reporting localization errors as low as 300 m in a quite complex 8 km × 6 km real-world environment.
