Understanding the impact of packet size on the energy efficiency of LoRaWAN

LoRaWAN has become a flagship LPWAN technology, and one of the main connectivity alternatives for IoT devices. Since LoRaWAN was designed for low energy consumption, it is fundamental to understand its energy performance. In this paper, we study the impact of packet size on LoRaWAN device energy con...

Since LoRaWAN was designed for low energy consumption, it is fundamental to understand its energy performance. In this paper, we study the impact of packet size on LoRaWAN device energy consumption per delivered data bit (EPB). By means of extensive simulations, we show that, when network performance is very high or very low, EPB decreases steadily with packet size; otherwise, EPB may show an “asymmetric U” shape as a function of packet size, with a minimum EPB value that is achieved for a medium packet size. We also provide detailed insights on the reasons that produce the observed behaviors.This work was supported in part by the Spanish Government through project TEC2016-79988-P funded by AEI/FSE/EU, grant PID2019-106808RAI00 funded by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033, and by Secretaria d’Universitats i Recerca del departament d’Empresa i Coneixement de la Generalitat de Catalunya with the grant number 2021 SGR 00330.Peer ReviewedObjectius de Desenvolupament Sostenible::11 - Ciutats i Comunitats SosteniblesObjectius de Desenvolupament Sostenible::9 - Indústria, Innovació i InfraestructuraObjectius de Desenvolupament Sostenible::7 - Energia Assequible i No Contaminant20232023-12-0120242024-01-12journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/2117/399255https://dx.doi.org/10.23919/JCN.2023.000039reponame:UPCommons.
