Abstract

Low-Power Wide-Area Networks like LoRa are essential for Internet of Things (IoT) applications, but their simple ALOHA-based channel access and low-power, narrow-band signals make them vulnerable to interference, especially when using the crowded 2.4 GHz band. We present SolidWi-Lo, a novel cross-technology communication (CTC) scheme that uses WiFi to emu- late LoRa transmissions with frequency-based frame repetition. This method improves resilience against channel fading, external interference and jamming by leveraging WiFi’s broader bandwidth and its listen-before-talk channel access scheme. Through link-level simulations, we demonstrate that SolidWi-Lo significantly increases the communication distance from 1 km to 1.5 km under the 3GPP urban micro propagation model and multipath fading. The resilience of the communication link in a scenario with external narrow-band interference is also dramatically increased showing an improvement in Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) from 0.5 to 0.91 as compared to classical LoRa. Notably, SolidWi-Lo requires no changes to the existing LoRaWAN infrastructure, offering a practical solution to enhance communication resilience of LoRa in crowded wireless environments.
