LoRaWAN endpoint stack implementation and example projects.

  1. Introduction

The aim of this project is to show an example of the endpoint LoRaWAN stack implementation.

This LoRaWAN stack is an EU868 and US915 bands Class A and Class C endpoint implementation fully compatible with LoRaWAN 1.0 specification. Each LoRaWAN application example includes the LoRaWAN certification protocol implementation.

SX1272/76 radio drivers are also provided. In case only point to point links are required a Ping-Pong application is provided as example.

The LoRaWAN stack API documentation can be found at: http://stackforce.github.io/LoRaMac-doc/

Note 1:

A version 3.x API to version 4.x API wrapper is available. Applications built using version 3.x API should work without modifications except that one must include LoRaMac-api-v3.h instead of LoRaMac.h file

Note 2:

A port of this project can be found on MBED Semtech Team page

The example projects are:

  1. LoRaWAN-demo-72

  2. LoRaWAN-demo-76

  3. System schematic and definitions

The available supported hardware platforms schematics can be found in the Doc directory.

  1. Usage

Projects for CooCox-CoIDE and Keil Integrated Development Environments are available.

One project is available per application and for each hardware platform in each development environment. Different targets/configurations have been created in the different projects in order to select different options such as the usage or not of a bootloader and the radio frequency band to be used.

2015-04-30, v3.2

  • General

    9. GPS: Changed the GetPosition functions to return a latitude and longitude of 0 and altitude of 65535 when no GPS fix.

  • LoRaWAN

    1. Removed support for previous LoRaMac/LoRaWAN specifications
    2. Added missing MAC commands and updated others when necessary

      • Corrected the Port 0 MAC commands decryption

      • Changed the way the upper layer is notified. Now it is only notified when all the operations are finished.

        When a ClassA Tx cycle starts a timer is launched to check every second if everything is finished.

      • Added a new parameter to LoRaMacEventFlags structure that indicates on which Rx window the data has been received.

      • Added a new parameter to LoRaMacEventFlags structure that indicates if there is applicative data on the received payload.

      • Corrected ADR MAC command behavior

      • DutyCycle enforcement implementation (EU868 PHY only)

        REMARK 1 The regulatory duty cycle enforcement is enabled by default which means that for lower data rates the node may not transmit a new frame as quickly as requested. The formula used to compute the node idle time is

        Toff = TimeOnAir / DutyCycle - TxTimeOnAir

        Example: A device just transmitted a 0.5 s long frame on one default channel. This channel is in a sub-band allowing 1% duty-cycle. Therefore this whole sub-band (868 MHz - 868.6 MHz) will be unavailable for 49.5 s.

        REMARK 2 The duty cycle enforcement can be disabled for test purposes by calling the LoRaMacSetDutyCycleOn function with false parameter.

      • Implemented aggregated duty cycle management

      • Added a function to create new channels

      • Implemented the missing features on the JoinAccept MAC command

      • Updated LoRaMacJoinDecrypt function to handle the CFList field.

    3. Due to duty cycle management the applicative API has changed. All applications must be updated accordingly.
    4. Added the possibility to chose to use either public or private networks

      • JoinAccept YES
    2. Added acknowledgments retries management. Split the LoRaMacSendOnChannel function in LoRaMacPrepareFrame and LoRaMacSendFrameOnChannel. LoRaMacSendOnChannel now calls the 2 newly defined functions.
    **WARNING**: By default the acknowledgment retries specific code isn't
enabled. The current http://iot.semtech.com server version doesn't support
it.
    1. Corrected issues on JoinRequest and JoinAccept MAC commands. Added LORAMAC_EVENT_INFO_STATUS_MAC_ERROR event info status.

2014-02-21, v2.0

  • General
    1. The LoRaMac applications now sends the LED status plus the sensors values. For the LoRaMote platform the application also sends the GPS coordinates.

      • The application payload for the Bleeper platform is as follows:

        LoRaMac port 1:

           { 0x00/0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 }
    ----------  ----------  ----------  ----------  ----
         |           |           |           |        |
        LED      PRESSURE   TEMPERATURE  ALTITUDE  BATTERY
                                       (barometric)

      • The application payload for the LoRaMote platform is as follows:

        LoRaMac port 2:

           { 0x00/0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 }

    2. Adapted applications to the new MAC layer API.
    3. Added sensors drivers implementation.
    4. Corrected new or known issues.
  • LoRaMac
    1. MAC commands implemented
      • LinkCheckReq YES
      • LinkCheckAns YES
      • LinkADRReq YES
      • LinkADRAns YES
      • DevStatusReq YES
      • DevStatusAns YES
      • JoinReq YES (Not tested)
      • JoinAccept YES (Not tested)
    2. New MAC layer application API implementation.
  • Timers and RTC.
    1. Still some issues. They will be corrected on next revisions of the firmware.

2014-01-24, v1.1

  • LoRaMac

    1. MAC commands implemented

      • LinkCheckReq NO
      • LinkCheckAns NO
      • LinkADRReq YES
      • LinkADRAns YES
      • DevStatusReq YES
      • DevStatusAns YES

    2. Implemented an application LED control If the server sends on port 1 an application payload of one byte with the following contents:

       0: LED off
 1: LED on

      The node transmits periodically on port 1 the LED status on 1st byte and the message "Hello World!!!!" the array looks like:

       { 0, 'H', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', ' ', 'W', 'o', 'r', 'l', 'd', '!', '!', '!', '!' }
  • Timers and RTC.
    1. Corrected issues existing in the previous version
    2. Known bugs are:
      • There is an issue when launching an asynchronous Timer. Will be solved in a future version

2014-01-20, v1.1.RC1

  • Added Doc directory. The directory contains:

    1. LoRa MAC specification
    2. Bleeper board schematic

  • LoRaMac has been updated according to Release1 of the specification. Main changes are:

    1. MAC API changed.
    2. Frame format.
    3. ClassA first ADR implementation.
    4. MAC commands implemented
      • LinkCheckReq NO
      • LinkCheckAns NO
      • LinkADRReq YES
      • LinkADRAns NO
      • DevStatusReq NO
      • DevStatusAns NO

  • Timers and RTC rewriting. Known bugs are:

    1. The Radio wakeup time is taken in account for all timings.
    2. When opening the second reception window the microcontroller sometimes doesn't enter in low power mode.

2013-11-28, v1.0

  • Initial version of the LoRa MAC node firmware implementation.
