LoRa (long-range) is an emerging low-power wide-area network technology. Facing challenges such as frequency selective fading multipath channels
existing LoRa schemes are subjected to issues like low data rates and high system complexity. To address these issues
a multi-mode LoRa (MM-LoRa-Mod) based modulation scheme was proposed. The frequency shifts of the multiple multiplexed chirp signals for information transmission were utilized in this scheme
thereby significantly enhancing data rates. Additionally
for underwater acoustic communication scenarios
a low-complexity non-coherent detection algorithm for MM-LoRa-Mod was introduced. Through the evaluation of MM-LoRa-Mod’s bit error rate performance in multipath channels
Watermark underwater acoustic channels
and shallow water acoustic channels
excellent anti-multipath fading and anti-Doppler frequency shift capabilities were demonstrated
indicating the high reliability of MM-LoRa-Mod in underwater acoustic communication scenarios.
