Low-power wide area networks such as LoRa and LoRaWAN play today a major role in the Internet of Things, where they enable architectural alternatives for smart object data collection with degrees of scale and flexibility hitherto impossible.
 
 
Telecommunication operators worldwide have deployed several thousand LoRa gateways each to accelerate innovation in areas such as smart cities, environmental monitoring and intelligent transport systems. Most works on LoRaWAN have focused on coverage tests and studying the performance of the uplink communication, aiming to increase the network capacity. However, the capacity of LoRaWAN is also limited by the downlink communication (from the gateway to the end nodes). The goal of this project is to propose a downlink strategy that will unleash the full potential of LoRaWAN networks and push the deployment of new applications that until now could not properly take advantage of the downlink communication available in LoRaWAN (namely in smart city, smart health, industry 4.0 and emergency situations).

Les réseaux étendus à faible puissance tels que LoRa et LoRaWAN jouent aujourd'hui un rôle majeur dans l'Internet des objets, où ils permettent des alternatives architecturales pour la collecte de données d'objets intelligents avec des degrés d'échelle et de flexibilité jusqu'ici impossibles.
