摘要：

Low-power wide area networks (LP-WANs) protocols are considered options to meet the requirements of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions that need long-range communication with low power consumption. Few studies intended to evaluate the performance of the same class of protocols coexisting in the same environment and with mobility support. This paper explores the technical characteristics of Sigfox and long-range (LoRa) protocols and presents a performance evaluation study considering mobility scenarios. The experiments were performed in real environments. Then, two prototypes for LoRa and Sigfox equipped with Global Positioning System (GPS) were created. Quantitative and qualitative performance metrics were also proposed for this study. The results showed that the coexistence between these protocols has soft impact on the performance presented. Because of the movement, the effects of Doppler, multipath, and signal fading hardly affect the performance of both protocols.
