The last two algorithms considered in this paper are presented by Cuomo et al. [7]. In their quest to find a way to improve the ADR, Cuomo et al. [7] exposed that in some cases, forcing an end device to use a lower **data** rate can reduce collisions in a LoRa net-work. Accordingly, they proposed two implementations of the ADR. The simpler of the two, EXPLoRa-SF, was built to reduce network collisions by segregating end devices into channels based on their distance from the gateway. The second approach, EXPLoRa-AT, was built on the functionalities of EXPLoRa-SF and included an intelligence mechanism to equalize airtimes for all traffic in different transmission channels and to enforce channel usage fairness. Both algorithms were implemented and tested using LoRaSim and compared against the native ADR algorithm in terms of throughput and **data** extraction rate. The simulation environment was a network operating in the European ISM band consisting of 500 to 2000 end devices each transmitting a 160-byte packet every 5 to 3600 s. The overall results showed superior performances of both algorithms over the native ADR.
