LoRa and LoRaWAN simulator-cum-emulator with CAD and capture effect in Python

Researchers introduced a Python-based LoRa/LoRaWAN simulator-emulator with discrete-event modeling and support for all device classes.

It includes capture-effect packet delivery, CAD behavior, and a full LoRaWAN 1.0.4 stack for realistic network testing.

The tool can run real firmware in containers through HAL redirection, enabling hardware-like validation of STM32/C firmware.

As an open-source Python alternative to complex C++ simulators, it aims to make LoRaWAN experimentation and firmware testing easier.
