This study addresses the conceptual design of a tunneling relay device intended to overcome the range limitations of traditional Long Range Wide Area Network (LPWAN) end devices and gateways. The primary objective of the relay is to provide LPWAN connectivity to end devices that suffer from poor channel conditions when attempting to reach the gateway. The relay device operates with a tunneling mechanism, where the uplink packets from end devices are encapsulated and forwarded to the corresponding gateway. The purpose of this thesis is to conceptually design the tunneling relay device to demonstrate that it enhances network capacity and reduces the network budget by decreasing the number of gateway devices needed.
