LoRa for IoT in Mobile Networks
LoRa (Long Range) is a wireless communication technology that is suitable for IoT (Internet of Things) applications.
This technology is not a mobile network technology, while it can integrate with mobile networks using "LoRaWAN gateways".
LoRaWAN gateways can connect to mobile network, to provide connectivity for the LoRa IoT devices.
LoRa can provide a range of up to 15 km in rural areas and up to 5 km in urban areas. While it supports low data rates ranging from 0.3 kbps to 50 kbps.
This technology operates in the unlicensed bands, which means it does not require a licensed spectrum, making it a more cost-effective solution for some IoT deployments.

5G Core Network Architecture
In this post, we will learn 5G Network Architecture. The control plane in 5G network includes the AMF, the SMF, the AUSF, the UDM, and the PCF. While the user plane includes the UPF. The control plane is not including those network functions only, there are another network functions in the control plane, that will be discussed later. In…

What is an ‘EPS Bearer’ in LTE ?
During 'LTE attach' procedure, the network establishes this EPS Bearer between the UE and the PGW. The PGW assigns an IP address for this Bearer. The UE uses this IP address, in order to communicate with the PDN. In addition, the PGW assigns a QoS for this Bearer, which guarantees the QoS for the data…

LTE (4G) Network Architecture
LTE (4G) Network Nodes LTE refers to 'Long Term Evolution', and the architecture of the LTE (4G) network is as following, eNodeB The eNodeB is the 4G site that the UE connects to. It provides the radio interface to the UE. MME MME refers to 'Mobility Management Entity'. The MME is responsible for authenticating the…
