Summary
The article demonstrates a hybrid star-mesh topology for LoRaWAN that coexists transparently with standard-compliant servers and applications.
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.
Resultados y alcance
La prueba de concepto demuestra la coexistencia transparente de topologías en estrella y malla manteniendo compatibilidad con LoRaWAN. Los ensayos verifican extensión de cobertura y continuidad de servicio, con una sobrecarga adicional de retransmisión y coordinación que debe gestionarse en redes densas.
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.

Main contribution
The proof of concept allows nodes with coverage problems to rely on multi-hop communication without modifying the existing LoRaWAN ecosystem. The result improves service continuity in complex environments.
Results and scope
The proof of concept demonstrates the transparent coexistence of star and mesh topologies while maintaining compatibility with LoRaWAN. The tests verify extension of coverage and continuity of service, with an additional overhead of retransmission and coordination that must be managed in dense networks.
