A Study on Implementation of Multi-hop Network for LoRaWAN Communication

On account of Many IoT devices using LPWA, many LPWA gateways installed around the world. At this point, each LPWA Gateway is connected to the Internet. If it holds to connect it, it induces pay a monthly fee. If another organization has many LPWA gateways, they must pay much money for the maintenance. In this paper, we propose a method for sending a packet to the Internet through multiple gateways. Because this is to solve what is mentioned here. In this paper, we study the implementation of a multi-hop network in a LoRaWAN communication system that can communicate through multiple gateways in a single-hop system, which is a basic network configuration of existing LPWA communication technology. We will further discuss the performance and experimentation of the study.
