Each LoRa frame begins with a preamble. It starts with a series of upchirps to cover the whole frequency band of the particular channel assigned. The last two upchirps encode the sync word. Sync word is used to differntiate between LoRa transmissions that use the same frequency bands. The sync word is followed by two and a quarter downchirps, for a duration of 2.25 symbols. The total duration of this preamble can be configured between 10.25 and 65,539.25 symbol hence the range 8 to 65537. config LORA_SYMBOL_TIMEOUT_DEFAULT int "Symbol timeout period in symbols" default 10 help Configure symbol time out in terms of number of symbols. One symbol has a length in time of (2^SF)/BW seconds. choice bool "Channel bandwidth" default LORA_BW_DEFAULT_125 help Configure the channel bandwidth. Refer to country specific regulations on channel usage to identify the correct bandwidth. config LORA_BW_DEFAULT_125 bool "125kHz" config LORA_BW_DEFAULT_250 bool "250kHz" config LORA_BW_DEFAULT_500 bool "500kHz" endchoice choice bool "Spreading factor" default LORA_SF_DEFAULT_SF7 help Configure Spreading Factor (SF). SF denotes the amount of spreading code applied to the original data signal. A larger SF increases the time on air, which increases energy consumption, reduces the data rate, and improves communication range. Each step up in spreading factor effectively doubles the time on air to transmit the same amount of data. Refer to country specific air time usage regulations before varying the SF. To calculate air time refer https://www.loratools.nl/#/airtime . config LORA_SF_DEFAULT_SF6 bool "SF6" config LORA_SF_DEFAULT_SF7 bool "SF7" config LORA_SF_DEFAULT_SF8 bool "SF8" config LORA_SF_DEFAULT_SF9 bool "SF9" config LORA_SF_DEFAULT_SF10 bool "SF10" config LORA_SF_DEFAULT_SF11 bool "SF11" config LORA_SF_DEFAULT_SF12 bool "SF12" endchoice choice bool "Coding rate" default LORA_CR_DEFAULT_CR_4_5 help Configure Coding rate (CR). CR denotes the implementation of forward error correction (FEC). This may be done by encoding 4-bit data with redundancies into 5-bit, 6-bit, 7-bit, or 8-bit. Coding Rate (CR) value need to be adjusted according to conditions of the channel used for data transmission. If there are too many interferences in the channel, then it’s recommended to increase the value of CR. However, the rise in CR value will also increase the duration for the transmission. Refer to country specific air time usage regulations before varying the CR. To calculate air time refer https://www.loratools.nl/#/airtime . config LORA_CR_DEFAULT_CR_4_5 bool "CR 4/5" config LORA_CR_DEFAULT_CR_4_6 bool "CR 4/6" config LORA_CR_DEFAULT_CR_4_7 bool "CR 4/7" config LORA_CR_DEFAULT_CR_4_8 bool "CR 4/8" endchoice config LORA_IQ_INVERTED_DEFAULT bool "Enable inverted I/Q mode" help Enable this to invert the IQ signals used in RF modulation circuit. For more information on I/Q modulation technique visit http://www.ni.com/tutorial/4805/en/ config LORA_FREQUENCY_HOPPING_DEFAULT bool "Enable Frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS)" help Enabling Frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) would imply that a portion of each LoRa packet is transmitted on each hopping channel from a look up table of frequencies managed by the host microcontroller. config LORA_FREQUENCY_HOPPING_PERIOD_DEFAULT int "Frequency hopping period in symbols" default 0 help Configure the hopping period, in symbols, time which each transmission will dwell in any given channel. One symbol has a length in time of (2^SF)/BW seconds. config LORA_FIXED_HEADER_LEN_MODE_DEFAULT bool "Enable fixed header length mode (implicit header)" help Enable fixed header length mode ( implicit header) to discard PHY header (PHDR). config LORA_PAYLOAD_CRC_OFF_DEFAULT bool "Disable payload CRC" config LORA_PAYLOAD_LENGTH_DEFAULT int "Payload Length" default 0 help Configure the length of payload. The option is unused while using explicit header mode as PHDR carries the length information. endmenu # LoRa PHY
