Abstract
Long Range-Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (LR-FHSS) is a pivotal
advancement in the LoRaWAN protocol, designed to enhance the network's capacity
and robustness, particularly in densely populated environments. Although energy
consumption is paramount in LoRaWAN-based end-devices, there are currently no
studies in the literature, to our knowledge, that model the impact of this
novel mechanism on energy consumption. In this article, we provide a
comprehensive energy consumption analytical model of LR-FHSS, focusing on three
critical metrics: average current consumption, battery lifetime, and energy
efficiency of data transmission. The model is based on measurements performed
on real hardware in a fully operational LR-FHSS network. While in our
evaluation, LR-FHSS can show worse consumption figures than LoRa, we found that
with optimal configuration, the battery lifetime of LR-FHSS end-devices can
reach 2.5 years for a 50-minute notification period. For the most
energy-efficient payload size, this lifespan can be extended to a theoretical
maximum of up to 16 years with a one-day notification interval using a
cell-coin battery.
