AbstractLoRaWAN is becoming popular for IoT deployments worldwide and it is de-ployed in 143 countries by 133 network operators as of now. LoRa technology uses Chirp Spread Spectrum (CSS) with different Spreading Factors (SF), which makes it possible to achieve a range of several kilometers. However, the recent IoT applications require frequent transmission of data which, leads to long trans-mission times by the nodes and increases energy requirement. Power consump-tion is a critical factor for sensor nodes to last long in the filed. There are many LoRa parameters that can be fine-tuned to provide optimum performance with less energy consumption. In this paper, we analyzed several key parameters that affect power consumption and provide a methodological approach to optimize the sensor node power.
