Abstract: In this paper, we introduce a comprehensive angle of arrival (AoA) estimation solution for the long range (LoRa) communication network. Termed the LoRa array (LoRay), the proposed system constitutes hardware and software solutions to estimate the AoA of the received signals in real life urban environments. The hardware solution is based on converting multiple individual software defined radios (SDR) into a single SDR that consists of multiple RF-channels. The proposed hardware is cost effective, flexible and generic. The software solution, on the other hand, utilizes the space alternating generalized expectation-maximization (SAGE) algorithm to estimate the AoA of highly correlated received signals. The proposed software exploits few samples of the received signal to estimate the AoA of the direct and reflected paths in an intensive multipath environment. The LoRay system has been validated in outdoor urban environments. The experimental results show that the proposed system provides stable and accurate AoA estimations for both the line-of-sight (LoS) and the non-line-of-sight (NLoS) conditions. The AoA of 80% of the received signals have been estimated within an estimation error below 2° and 10° for the LoS and the NLoS locations, respectively.
