LoRaWAN Class A Device , How it works ?

  • In Class A LoRaWAN, the end device spends most of its time in an idle state, (that is, in sleep mode)
  • Periodically or Interrupt driven device wakes up and initiates an uplink, transmitting the data about the changed state back to the network (Tx).
  • The LoRa device then listens for a response from the LoRa Network Server, typically for one second (although this duration is configurable).



 
  • If device does not receive a downlink during the receive window (Rx1), it briefly goes back to sleep, waking a moment later, again listening for a response (Rx2), shown as below.
  • If no response is received during this second Rx window, the device goes back to sleep until the next time it has data to report.
  • The delay between Rx1 and Rx2 is configured in terms of a delay from the end of the uplink transmission.
