Abstract: In recent years, long range (LoRa) networks are gaining popularity in all areas of engineering fields and there is a need to minimise the structure of the network to cover a wide geographical area with extremely low power consumption. This network designed for the broad range communications capacity is especially suitable for internet of things (IoT) applications. In the wide context of communication channels, long range network has the significant support applications for long distance multi-hop network with minimum packet size and low latency. This survey paper presents the recent advancements and technical analysis of this network in different applications. The paper also reviews performance and challenges faced by the network under different scenarios. The paper also involves the findings and restrictions of the proposed work to help research scholars for the field selection and network optimisation to improve the performance parameters for any given environment.

Keywords: long range network; low power consumption; internet of things; IoT; communication channels; optimisation.
