Monitoring System Based on LoRa and IoT for BTS to Enhance 5G Network Efficiency in Smart Cities

This study focuses on the development of a LoRa-based monitoring system for 5G Base Transceiver Stations (BTS) in the context of smart cities. Smart cities aim to create efficient, sustainable urban environments with advanced technology, and 5G technology plays a pivotal role in achieving this vision. The proliferation of 5G necessitates extensive BTS deployments, which pose management and maintenance challenges. The proposed monitoring system enables real-time tracking of voltage, power, current, and temperature parameters in BTS rectifier systems. Its benefits include optimized energy utilization, early issue detection, improved service quality, and data-informed decision-making. The study successfully implements the monitoring system, utilizing LoRa technology for seamless data transmission and integration with cloud databases. Real-time readings ensure consistent power supply and ideal room temperatures in BTS shelters, contributing to the realization of smart cities' goals.
