Main contribution

The proof of concept enables nodes with coverage problems to rely on multi-hop communication without modifying the existing LoRaWAN ecosystem. The result improves service continuity in complex environments.

Link with BoND1

BoND1 seeks non-cellular technologies that extend IoT connectivity in real scenarios. This publication is especially close to the core of the project because it addresses coverage, interoperability and the evolution of LoRaWAN without breaking compatibility with current deployments.
