Technical improvement of the SpiderMesh cooperative mesh radio protocol
FY 2018-19 · 2018-11-26
Summary
Smartrek has developed a mesh cooperative wireless radio protocol that enables object connectivity in harsh radio frequency (RF) environments. This protocol uses a frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) strategy. To increase the competitiveness of the technology, this protocol will be adapted for interoperability with LoRA technologies and then to obtain a LoRaMESH protocol, i. e. a cooperative and mesh wireless radio technology using LoRa's CHIRP frequency modulation strategy. In addition, the development of a layer transparent to the DigiMesh protocol is also planned.

Description (French)
Smartrek a développé un protocole radio sans-fil coopératif maillé qui permet la connectivité d'objets dans des environnements RF difficiles. Ce protocole utilise une stratégie par étalement de spectre par sauts de fréquence (FHSS). Pour augmenter la compétitivité de la technologie, ce protocole sera adapté pour l'intéropérabilité avec les technologies LoRA puis pour obtenir un protocole LoRaMESH, c'est-à-dire, une technologie radio sans-fil coopératif et maillé avec l'utilisation de la stratégie de modulation de fréquence CHIRP de LoRa. Par ailleurs, le développement d'une couche transparente au protocole DigiMesh est également planifiée.
