Abstract

The evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT) demands global connectivity that terrestrial networks alone cannot provide1. Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites equipped with Long Range (LoRa) communication technology offer a promising solution to bridge this connectivity gap2. This paper presents a specific case study calculation for a LoRa-based IoT satellite mission, defining the system's operational constraints based on selected hardware3. This analysis is framed by the RFM95W LoRa transceiver for the ground station and the Satlab Polaris receiver for the satellite4. The datasheet specifications of these components establish the critical link parameters that dictate performance: a maximum Transmit Power (Pt) ) of 20 dBm from the RFM95W 5and a Receiver Sensitivity threshold of -130 dBm for the Satlab Polaris6. The objectives are: (1) to conduct a comprehensive link budget analysis to validate the communication viability between a LEO satellite and a ground station 77, and (2) to design and predict the performance of an inset-feed microstrip antenna operating in the 920-925 MHz Indonesian LoRa frequency band using an FR-4 substrate. The detailed link budget analysis, performed for an uplink to a 500 km orbit 9, reveals that these specific parameters create a stringent performance requirement: while a reliable link margin of $+7.8 \text{ dB}$ is achieved at a 90°  elevation (best case) 10101010, the system reaches its theoretical critical threshold (0.0 dB margin) at 19.1° and enters link failure with a -2.8 dB margin at the target 10°  elevation. This failure is directly linked to the preliminary simulation of the initial antenna design, which shows a suboptimal return loss (S11) of -9.41 dB. This paper concludes that the system's target for low-elevation communication has not been met. The performance gap, defined by the hardware constraints, confirms that the initial antenna design is insufficient15. Therefore, systematic optimization of the antenna design is identified as the crucial next step to achieve a positive link margin at the 10° target elevation and ensure a robust communication link across all operational scenarios.

Abstract

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a collection of sensors communicating at close range by forming a wireless-based network (wireless). Since 2015 research related to the use of WSN in various health, agriculture, security industry, and other fields has continued to grow. One interesting research case is the use of WSN for the monitoring process by collecting data using sensors placed and distributed in locations based on a wireless system. Sensors with low power, multifunction, supported by a combination of wireless network, microcontroller, memory, operating system, radio communication, and energy source in the form of an integrated battery enable a monitoring process of the monitoring area to run properly. The implementation of the wireless sensor network includes five main parts, namely sender, receiver, wireless transmission media, data/information, network architecture/configuration, and network management. Network management itself includes network configuration management, network performance management, network failure management, network security management, and network financing management. The main obstacles in implementing a wireless sensor network include three things: an effective and efficient data sending/receiving process, limited and easily depleted sensor energy/power, network security, and data security that is vulnerable to eavesdropping and destruction. This paper presents a taxonomy related to the constraints in implementing Wireless Sensor Networks. This paper also presents solutions from existing studies related to the constraints of implementing the WSN. Furthermore, from the results of the taxonomy mapping of these constraints, new gaps were identified related to developing existing research to produce better solutions.
