Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly transforming industries, cities, and homes by connecting billions of devices across the globe. As an enabler, Long Range (LoRa) radio has played a key role in ensuring this connectivity. Network topology selection in LoRa systems is crucial for optimizing performance based on specific application requirements. This study presents a comparative analysis of four distinct LoRa network topologies: simple point-to-point, linear routing, augmented linear routing, and full mesh. Each topology is evaluated for communication patterns, energy efficiency, scalability, and practical deployment suitability. All experiments are conducted under a standardised benchmark protocol with repeated trials; results are reported with mean values and standard deviations for Message Delivery Ratio (MDR) and Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI). Real-world field testing on the Dhirubhai Ambani University (Formerly DAIICT) campus validates performance across both indoor and outdoor environments. Security considerations relevant to mesh IoT deployments are also discussed. The findings provide practical guidance for topology selection in smart meter monitoring and broader IoT deployments.
RSrSF-LoRa is proposed, an integrated implementation of the reserved spreading factor (rSF) mechanism within the RS-LoRa framework (lightweight scheduling), designed to improve reliability for critical traffic in smelter IIoT deployments.

Traditional IoT technologies such as LoRaWAN, Sigfox, and NB-IoT rely on single-hop star topologies, requiring many gateways to cover large areas. In subterranean environments where cellular coverage and grid power may be unavailable, such deployments are often impractical. This paper presents a novel LoRa mesh network...

Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are a key enabling technology for dynamic, infrastructure-limited IoT environments. The routing protocol is the central design choice in any WMN deployment because throughput, end-to-end delay, energy consumption and delivery reliability are directly affected by it. A systematic, simulatio...
