Among various data transmission technologies, LoRa is an Internet of Things (IoT)-based wireless communication technology, characterized by its long communication distance up to a few kilometers and low power consumption. Therefore, LoRa is an appropriate candidate for data transmission in smart grids. In this study, the performance of a LoRa device is examined. Based on the experimental results, a routing algorithm that uses the AODV is developed for the LoRa device, and the algorithm enables a long-chain topology suitable for data transmission in a smart grid. A multi-hop mechanism is simulated to ensure a high final receiving rate of packets, by finding the optimal path with the least number of hops in the transmission topology for a power transmission line. The simulation results show a great performance of the proposed algorithm in long distance transmission. © 2018 IEEE.[SDGs]SDG7Data transfer; Electric power transmission networks; Internet of things; Routing algorithms; Topology; AODV; LoRa; LPWAN; RSSI; Smart grid; Smart power gridsconference paper10.1109/ICSensT.2018.86036412-s2.0-85061480520https://www2.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85061480520&doi=10.1109%2fICSensT.2018.8603641&partnerID=40&md5=39c3a2079aada87f3b78927e4ca600e2
