TDoA-based outdoor positioning in a public LoRa network

Abstract

The performance of LoRa Geo-location for outdoor tracking purposes has been evaluated on a public LoRaWAN network. Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) localization accuracy, probability and update frequency were evaluated for different trajectories (walking, cycling, driving) and LoRa spreading factors. A median accuracy of 200m was obtained and in 90% of the cases the error was less then 480m
