摘要:

本文提出O-LoRaWAN,这是一种将LoRaWAN架构适配为基于Open RAN(O-RAN,开放无线接入网)原则的模块化网络架构的方案。在我们的构想中,网络组件与接口的标准化将实现网络功能的复用,从而加快网络功能针对不断变化的应用需求的定制化进程。LoRaWAN与蜂窝网络存在相似性,是向O-RAN标准转型的理想候选对象。文中提出了若干转型策略,包括将LoRa网关功能重组为无线单元与分布式单元;利用RAN智能控制器挖掘网络数据以提升网络性能;以及实现网络组件管理与编排的标准化。此次适配的核心在于O-RAN接口。全文对这些接口展开分析,并提出协议扩展或调整建议以保障网络组件间的兼容性与互操作性,倡导设计可扩展协议。

英文摘要:

This article proposes O-LoRaWAN, an adaptation of the LoRaWAN architecture into a modular network architecture based on the Open RAN (O-RAN) principles. In our vision, standardization of the network components and interfaces will enable the reuse of network functions, and thus, foster an accelerated tailoring of the network functions to the changing application demands. LoRaWAN shares similarities to cellular networks and becomes an interesting candidate for a transformation to the O-RAN standard. In the article we draw several transition strategies, these include the reorganization of the LoRa gateway functions into Radio and Distributed Units; enhancing network performance with RAN Intelligent Controllers exploiting the network data; and the standardization of the management and orchestration of network components. Key for that adaptation are the O-RAN interfaces. Along the article, we analyze them and suggest protocol extensions or adjustments for compatibility and interoperability between network components, advocating for the design of extensible protocols
