Abstract Traditional Global Positioning System (GPS) technology, with its high power consumption and limited performance in obstructed environments, is unsuitable for many Internet of Things (IoT) applications. This paper explores LoRa as an alternative localization technology, leveraging its low power consumption, robust indoor penetration, and extensive coverage area, which render it highly suitable for diverse IoT settings. We comprehensively review several LoRa-based localization techniques, including time of arrival (ToA), time difference of arrival (TDoA), round trip time (RTT), received signal strength indicator (RSSI), and fingerprinting methods. Through this review, we evaluate the strengths and limitations of More >
