OpenLoRa: Validating LoRa Implementations through an Extensible and Open-sourced Framework
summary
Built an open-source Python platform called OpenLoRa framework that unifies and reimplements four recent collision-resolving demodulators (CiC, ChoLoRa, FTrack, NScale) and standard LoRa, runs on captured datasets (commercial LoRa transmitters + SDR receivers) with varying SNRs, and outputs unified metrics. Cross-validation reproduces prior plots, but full evaluations show existing techniques fail in low and ultra-low SNR and standard LoRa sometimes outperforms them; throughput drops exponentially as node count increases (e.g., 200→2000).
