Models and methods of usage of the heterogeneous gateways in the mesh LPWAN networks

Authors in this article were investigated existing standards of the building gateways in the LPWAN networks, creating the structure of the mesh LPWAN with the special conversion structure - heterogeneous gateway. This structure was used to create a simulation model of this network. The simulation model was mapped with a model based on the more traditional star topology with a simple gateway and edge server. The results of the simulation can be used to design new mesh LPWAN networks.
