Main contribution

The article improves the evaluation process for LoRaWAN networks by reducing simulation cost and making configuration exploration easier. This makes it possible to study more parameter combinations without computation time becoming a bottleneck.

Link with BoND1

Fast and rigorous evaluation of LPWAN networks is central to BoND1. FAST-LoRa provides a tool aligned with the objective of designing non-cellular IoT connectivity that is more efficient, scalable and adaptable to different deployment conditions.
