• New IEEE Internet of Things Journal article

  July 19, 2026
  
  Our article Wi-Lo++: WiFi-to-LoRa Cross-Technology Communication with Multi-Packet Emulation has been accepted for publication in IEEE Internet of Things Journal. This work presents Wi-Lo++, a WiFi-to-LoRa CTC mechanism. In contrast to existing WiFi-to-LoRa CTC approaches, it removes the constraint of the maximum packet length of WiFi and therefore can emulate LoRa transmissions with higher spreading factors (SFs). This is achieved by emulating a single LoRa frame through a train of consecutive IEEE 802.11b frames, each emulating only a part of the overall LoRa waveform while preserving symbol-level continuity across packet boundaries. In order to mitigate waveform distortions caused by the variety of immutable WiFi preambles and headers, we shift these distortions into less critical regions of the LoRa waveform. Using a second WiFi interface, these distortions can be further reduced further using overlapping WiFi frames.
