LoRa Wide Area Networks (LoRaWAN) can provide a connectivity service to Internet of Things (IoT) for an extremely long run-time and with low power consumption. As the LoRaWAN is extensively applied to various IoT scenarios, LoRaWAN solutions face a flexibility issue in terms of inter-operating with various kinds of LoRa modem hardware and protocol scenarios. In this regard, we design a unified protocol architecture for LoRaWAN physical layer, which can flexibly correspond to various deployment and operational cases. The new protocol architecture includes a hardware abstraction sub-layer, which contains generalized handlers for configuring various kinds of the LoRa modem, and a physical procedure sub-layer that structurally models the physical layer procedures of the LoRaWAN based on Finite State Machine(FSM). We illustrate the flexibility of the new protocol architecture by implementing an extensive feature that enhances the packet reception ratio based on the status of preamble detection. For evaluating the new protocol architecture, we implement the LoRaWAN physical layer protocol on real-time embedded systems and conduct experiments. The experimental results show that the proposed protocol robustly transmits and receives packets and generates little amount of additional burden compared with the conventional open source protocol provided by SemTech.
