LoRaWAN is a long-range, low-power wireless transmission medium, typically used in Internet of Things(IoT) deployments for long range transmission of sensor data and commands for actuator devices. Named Data Networking (NDN) is an emerging information-centric networking architecture with a design suited for handling communication in wireless environments. This work leverages both technologies to create an ad hoc wireless network by creating an application that is able to send and receive NDN packets between LoRaWAN devices without using any IP address. Experimental results gathered in a real environment show that this newly created ad hoc network is capable of transmitting data over distances of at least one kilometer per hop, using NDN features for handling routing and security of data packets. This ad hoc network is suitable for fetching IoT sensor data, sending commands to IoT devices, and for sending small messages between distant nodes in a low-resource, wireless IoT environment with minimal network infrastructure. Furthermore, this system has been used and evaluated while developing an NDN-based IoT sensing platform with built-in security features, such as data signature verification and certificate deployment.
