The correct value of MinRxSymbols?
Closed this issue · 1 comments
Hi,
Hope you have a good day. I found out that min RxSymbols is 6
'''
Nvm.MacGroup2.MacParamsDefaults.MinRxSymbols = 6;
'''
However, "SX1276 Settings for LoRaWAN" document specfied that it should be minimum 5. Any reason why? Thanks!
To detect a LoRa signal only 5 symbols are required. At least in theory.
However, there are always some tolerance to take account for.
From experiments it was found that setting the minimum value to 6 improved the chances to not miss a downlink.
You may try to change the value to 5 and see if it suits your requirements. But I would recommend to keep the 6 symbols value.
The impact on the power consumption is minimal and ensures a more reliable detection and reception of a downlink.
In the future it would be nice if you could post this kind of questions on the project Discussions tab. It is a better place to engage discussions and then we can agree if it is an issue or not.
If you don't mind I move this issue to the Discussions tab.
