Hi Teemu, In our company we're using custom MAC protocol for "Star" network topology on LoRa layer. The sensor's data is all encoded and compressed as binary data, no JSON, no ASCII. It helps to reduce time-on-air on lower speeds and to increase network capacity and to reduce chance of collision on the channel.
All sensor's reading routines and protocol are implemented in STM32L1 MCU which is connected to the SX1276 LoRa transceiver on the same PCB. On top of that protocol we built a gate on Linux device such as Black Swift or RPi which is connected to our LoRa module via UART. Special software on the Linux translates binary data received from LoRa into JSON string and posts it into particular topic on MQTT broker which is installed on the same Linux device. In other words, our scheme is following: [ Many LoRa end-devices ] <- LoRa -> [ One LoRa gate ] <- UART -> [Linux-based gate] <- MQTT -> [Client applications listening MQTT topic] Best regards, Cr0s 2016-10-28 10:02 GMT+03:00 Teemu Hakala <[email protected]>: > Hi all > > Nice to see LoRa starting to get traction.
