Abstract
In this thesis a Stateless Broadcast Network Protocol for LoRa (SBNPL) is proposed.
Simulations of the protocol were done for validation of the algorithms using the ns-3
simulation software and ns-3 Lora Module (NLM). The result is a viable broadcast
protocol that can be used on low cost Long Range (LoRa) devices to create a reliable,
secure, and easily deployed sensor network. For busy locations with many LoRa
devices the amount of data, while limited, can fall within the regional duty cycle and
dwell time for LoRa devices.
