What is LoRaWAN

Internet of Behaviors Implementation in Organizational Contexts
A long-range, low-power communication protocol, using LoRa technology, designed for devices with low data rates and low power. It is used in IoT applications, such as wireless sensor networks.

Abstract
Water scarcity is probably one of the most serious problems that humanity will have to face globally. For that reason, it will certainly be urgent to try to define practices and find solutions that, in a first phase, allow to mitigate the problem, but whose ultimate objective will be to overcome the situation. This chapter presents an irrigation system set on an internet of things platform, able to act in real time according to the atmospheric conditions. Through parameterized and automated systems, it is possible to stop the irrigation. Later, using sensors, the system may or may not be activated in case the levels of soil moisture and luminosity do not respond to the parameterized needs. It is an efficient and sustainable solution that is available for all agriculture irrigation systems. To test the proposed solution, unit tests were conducted, and a group of tests with all sensors connected was also considered. This system implements an alternative method for the data flow and its monitoring, including the fact that the system is aware of the user.

Long Range Wide Area Network is a point to multi-point networking protocol that uses Semtech's LoRa modulation schemes which is about how the radio waves communicate with LoRaWAN gateways to do encryption and identification. It supports large networks with millions of devices and is compared in terms of network coverage to 3G and 4G.

A Review of the Technologies Trending Towards 5G Network for IoT-Based Smart Healthcare
LoRa modulation is the foundation for the Media Access Control (MAC) layer protocol known as LoRaWAN. It is a software layer that specifies how devices use the LoRa hardware, including the message structure and when they broadcast. A LoRaWAN network server called The Things Stack, which gets messages from LoRaWAN devices, powers the Things Network. The LoRa Alliance is in charge of creating and maintaining the LoRaWAN protocol. January 2015 saw the introduction of the first LoRaWAN specification. The version history of the LoRaWAN specifications is displayed in the table below. The most recent specs as of the time of writing are 1.0.4 and 1.1.
