DOI 10.1117/12.3121380
Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Industrial Internet of Things deployments demand scalable and robust wireless communication networks. Traditional bandwidth protocols struggle against the severe electromagnetic interference and structural obstacles inherent to manufacturing facilities. The Long-Range Wide Area Network protocol provides a viable alternative through Chirp Spread Spectrum modulation, offering deep signal pen-etration and terminal energy efficiency. This paper analyzes the empirical signal propagation dynamics, Adaptive Data Rate optimization bottlenecks, and topological requirements for deploying this protocol in harsh industrial settings. The analysis evaluates the capital and operational expenditure profiles of these deployments, highlighting rapid return on investment through energy optimization and predictive maintenance.
