Hypothesis

Can a hybrid protocol combining LoRa and wireless sensor networks improve the transmission of scalar data and images?

Conclusion

The proposed hybrid multimedia transmission protocol achieved a high image transfer rate of approximately 96% without packet loss and a transfer time of about 0.3 seconds for a 24 KB image.

Supporting Evidence

  • The protocol achieved an image transfer rate of approximately 96% without packet loss.
  • It transmitted a 24 KB image in about 0.3 seconds.
  • The hybrid approach eliminated control message overhead and allowed uninterrupted scalar data transmission.

Takeaway

This study created a new way to send both data and images quickly and reliably using two different types of networks working together.

Methodology

The study used a hybrid protocol that combines LoRa networks for scalar data transmission and wireless sensor networks for image transmission, evaluated through experiments in a university building.

Limitations

The study did not address the performance of the protocol in environments with high interference or varying distances beyond the tested range.
