Environment-aware indoor LoRaWAN path loss: parametric regression comparisons, shadow fading, and calibrated fade margins
摘要
Indoor long-range wide area network (LoRaWAN) propagation is shaped by structural and time-varying environmental factors, which limit single-slope log-distance models and the standard log-normal shadowing assumption. We propose an environment-conditioned path loss framework that augments a log-distance multi-wall baseline with co-recorded environmental covariates (relative humidity, temperature, carbon dioxide, particulate matter, and barometric pressure) and receiver-reported signal-to-noise, and we validate both the mean and the residual law statistically. The approach is evaluated on a 12-month campaign in an eighth-floor office (
