| Abstract |
Nowadays it is possible to monitor all kinds of objects by connecting them to a network, giving rise to the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm. As an example, by collecting more relevant data which is used to manage assets and resources efficiently (such as traffic, power plants, water supply, waste management, etc.), cities can improve their efficiency and add better quality services to their citizens, thus becoming known as smart cities. This work addresses a smart city design, namely the planning of a wireless telecommunication system based on LoRaWAN technology for the project "SmartCity Abrantes". First, an assessment of the availability of fixed sensors is performed, followed by a study of the introduction of a new gateway on the system, in order to address coverage problems that were found. Afterwards, mobile sensors are considered, which can move within the whole area of Abrantes' municipality, and a geographic coverage assessment is performed. Besides pointing out which challenges can be found when planning a LoRaWAN-based network, the design and assessment steps shown herein also serve as a guide for similar wireless IoT projects. |
