abstract = {The Internet of Things is one of the hottest topics in communications today, with current revenues of $151B, around 7 billion
connected devices, and an unprecedented growth expected for next years. Amassive number of sensors and actuators are expected
to emerge, requiring new wireless technologies that can extend their battery life and can cover large areas. LoRaWAN is one of the
most outstanding technologies which fulfill these demands, attracting the attention of both academia and industry. In this paper,
the design of a LoRaWAN testbed to support critical situations, such as emergency scenarios or natural disasters, is proposed.This
self-healing LoRaWAN network architecture will provide resilience when part of the equipment in the core network may become
faulty. This resilience is achieved by virtualizing and properly orchestrating the different network entities. Different options have
been designed and implemented as real prototypes. Based on our performance evaluation, we claim that the usage of microservice
orchestration with several replicas of the LoRaWAN network entities and a load balancer produces an almost seamless recovery
which makes it a proper solution to recover after a system crash caused by any catastrophic event.},
