LoRaCloud: LoRa platform on OpenStack

In this paper, we discuss the implementation of LoRa network server on OpenStack. LoRa is a type of low power wide area wireless network protocols for Internet of Thing applications. We restructured the operations of LoRa network server so it can be flexible and scalable by exploiting the system services provided by OpenStack. For validation, we have established an experimental system by using available open sources for LoRa terminal, LoRa gateway, and OpenStack.
