As the Internet of Things (IoT) is poised to become a global phenomenon, it is imperative to schedule the transmissions of IoT devices effectively and in a fair way. Leveraging Long Range (LoRa) technology, we can achieve transmissions that consume minimal power while covering vast distances, aligning with the requirements of IoT devices. However, the proximity of multiple devices within the same area often leads to packet interference and collisions. To address this, our study introduces a pioneering scheduling method utilizing a constellation of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites to manage and streamline the transmission of data from End Devices (EDs). This method employs two LEO satellites: the first satellite assigns the sequence for EDs to dispatch their packets, and the second collects these packets in the predetermined sequence before forwarding them to the LoRa Network Server (LNS). For urgent (URG) communications, EDs can alert the first satellite, which then coordinates with the LNS to schedule these priority transmissions. The LNS generates a schedule that is relayed to the second satellite, informing EDs with URG packets of their specific transmission times and channels. This scheduling approach is designed to optimize channel usage effectively while accommodating the transmission of urgent data.
