Abstract 

Extensive experimental measurement campaigns of more than 30,000 data points of end-to-end latency measurements for the following network architecture schemes is available:

  • Unlicensed IoT (standalone LoRa)
  • Cellular IoT (standalone LTE-M)
  • Concatenated IoT (LoRa interfaced with LTE-M)

Download Data.zip to access all relevant files for the open data measurements.

Instructions: 

End-to-end Latencies for Standalone LoRa:

  • Files: lora_dataset_qty10722.json  OR  lora_dataset_qty10722.csv
  • Number of Data Points: 10,722 (all latency measurements are in milliseconds).
  • Measurement Information: name=lora in Toronto, Ontario; start=2020-09-15T16:38:24.000+00:00; end=2020-09-15T19:39:09.311+00:00.
  • Network Setup: Dataset of end-to-end latency for a native LoRa LPWAN system captured for a defined duration outdoors. TTGO LoRa32 node to TTGO LoRa32 Gateway to Unifi AC AP Lite radio over Cat5e ethernet to EdgeRouter ER-X. Uplink to the internet is to Rogers Telecommunications Network using CODA-4582 cable modem. Downlink to core infrastructure from internet is through Rogers Telecommunications Network using CODA-4582 cable modem. An EdgeRouter ER-X routes over Cat5e to a Broadcom NC373i NIC to HP Proliant DL380 G5. End-user client Samsung Galaxy S7 performs RESTful HTTP request over Rogers Telecommunications Mobile Network to core infrastructure, which responds across the same.

End-to-end Latencies for Standalone LTE-M:

  • Files: ltem_dataset_qty10762.json  OR  ltem_dataset_qty10762.csv
  • Number of Data Points: 10,762 (all latency measurements are in milliseconds).
  • Measurement Information: name=ltem in Toronto, Ontario; start=2020-09-16T14:01:03.000+00:00; end=2020-09-16T16:14:44.089+00:00.
  • Network Setup: Dataset of end-to-end latency for a native LTE-M LPWAN system captured for a defined duration outdoors. MKR1500 node to LTE-M base station with an uplink to Bell Canada's LTE-M IoT network edge, eventually reaching the internet through the carrier network. Downlink to core infrastructure from internet is through Rogers Telecommunications Network using CODA-4582 cable modem. An EdgeRouter ER-X routes over Cat5e to a Broadcom NC373i NIC to HP Proliant DL380 G5. End-user client Samsung Galaxy S7 performs RESTful HTTP request over Rogers Telecommunications Mobile Network to core infrastructure, which responds across the same.

End-to-end Latencies for Concatenated LoRa with LTE-M:

  • Files: lora+ltem_dataset_qty10452.json  OR  lora+ltem_dataset_qty10452.csv
  • Number of Data Points: 10,452 (all latency measurements are in milliseconds).
  • Measurement Information: name=lora+ltem in Toronto, Ontario; start=2020-09-15T15:12:21.000+00:00; end=2020-09-15T16:01:24.956+00:00.
  • Network Setup: Dataset of end-to-end latency for a native LTE-M LPWAN system captured for a defined duration outdoors. TTGO LoRa32 node to TTGO LoRa32 Gateway to MKR1500 backhaul node to LTE-M base station with an uplink to Bell Canada's LTE-M IoT network edge, eventually reaching the internet through the carrier network. Downlink to core infrastructure from internet is through Rogers Telecommunications Network using CODA-4582 cable modem. An EdgeRouter ER-X routes over Cat5e to a Broadcom NC373i NIC to HP Proliant DL380 G5. End-user client Samsung Galaxy S7 performs RESTful HTTP request over Rogers Telecommunications Mobile Network to core infrastructure, which responds across the same.
