Abstract(in English) Recently, long-range wide area network (LoRaWAN), a low power wide area network (LPWAN) technology that facilitates long-range and low-power communication, has been attracting attention with the development of the Internet-of-things (IoT). This paper introduces a concept of non-integer spreading factor (FSF) to LoRa modulation for system throughput improvement. In the proposed FSF-LoRa, a fractional coefficient is introduced for changing the chip length of the LoRa signal, which realizes equivalent FSF. To mitigate the self-interference of the FSF-LoRa signal, this paper also proposes a demodulation algorithm that takes into account the structure of FSF-LoRa signal. The computer simulation results elucidate that the proposed FSF-LoRa can improve the system throughput by 14% compared to the original LoRa under an inter-spreading factor interference environment.
