RESUMEN
In this paper, we present a new LoRa transceiver scheme to ensure discrete communications secure from potential eavesdroppers by leveraging a simple and elegant spread spectrum philosophy. The scheme modifies both preamble and payload waveforms by adapting a current state-of-the-art LoRa synchronization front-end. This scheme can also be seen as a self-jamming approach. Furthermore, we introduce a new payload demodulation method that avoids the adverse effects of the traditional cross-correlation solution that would otherwise be used. Our simulation results show that the self-jamming scheme exhibits very good symbol error rate (SER) performance with a loss of just 0.5 dB for a frequency spread factor of up to 10.
