LoRa & NB-IoT Networks Design using HTZ

HTZ Communications Project – LoRa vs NB-IoT Network Design & Report

I need a telecom/wireless engineer experienced with HTZ Communications to design, simulate, and optimise LoRaWAN and NB-IoT networks for an outdoor air-pollution sensor system.

Project Requirements (Essential)
1. Network Design (HTZ)

Use any city in the UK/EU (map downloaded in HTZ).

Place 20+ sensor nodes over 4 different roads.

Configure realistic parameters: frequencies (LoRa 868 MHz, NB-IoT based on country), EIRP, antenna height/type, bandwidth, node power, etc.

Build two models:

NB-IoT (4G or 5G – your choice, but justify)

LoRaWAN

Include one figure for each original network (base stations/gateways + sensor nodes).

2. Simulation

Run coverage prediction & performance simulations for both models.

Provide coverage maps + initial observations (no deep analysis needed).

3. Optimisation

Apply two optimisation techniques (from NB-IoT lab guidelines) to both networks.

Update parameters, rerun simulations, and provide new coverage figures.

List clearly what was changed.

4. Final Report (≤1000 words)

Structure MUST be:

NB-IoT
1.1 Original model design
1.2 Simulation results
1.3 Optimised model design
1.4 Optimised simulation results

LoRa
2.1 Original model design
2.2 Simulation results
2.3 Optimised model design
2.4 Optimised simulation results

Include: numbered tables, numbered figures, captions, and page numbers.

Deliverables

Final 1000-word report (Word/PDF)

All HTZ project files (.htz)

Maps, coverage plots, and parameter tables

A short note with:

brief results interpretation

one journal reference for validation

recommendation (LoRa or NB-IoT)

To Apply
