| Apr 28, 2018 at 20:36 | comment | added | Misunderstood | Look at my profile, I may know what I am talking about. See raveon.com/data_radio_info/the-lora-protocol-1159 Notice the first section labeled LoRa Protocol. Notice further down the sub-section labeled LoRa Modulation. By definition protocol means a set of rules. A modulation scheme has a set of rules. See definition #7 at dictionary.com/browse/protocol | |
| Apr 28, 2018 at 18:17 | comment | added | Chris Stratton | @Misunderstood - the terms are only misused by people who don't know what they are talking about. LoRa is not a protocol, while LoRaWan is a scheme which includes one. Continuing to argue this and blame the hardware for perceived deficiencies of software sometimes used with it just puts you in the category of people who do not understand what they are talking about. | |
| Apr 28, 2018 at 17:40 | comment | added | Misunderstood | @ChrisStratton Commonly LoRa is synonymous with LoRaWan as used by the OP. The OP is looking for a a network, not modulation scheme. When referring to the modulation scheme it is generally referred to as LoRa Modulation. Furthermore, when the term LoRa is used by itself generally refers to the physical layer protocol and LoRaWan refers to the MAC layer. The LoRa PHY protocol is more than a modulation scheme. It also defines the PHY/MAC interface. Even just a modulation scheme IS A PROTOCOL. A network protocol is the set of rules governing data exchange. | |
| Apr 9, 2018 at 1:59 | comment | added | Chris Stratton | -1 For the repeating a false claim after the error was explained, and for the fact that it makes this answer meaningless. LoRa is a modulation, it is not a protocol. A protocol would happen at a higher level. You might, for example, be thinking of the protocol used in LoRaWAN - but that is not LoRa, it is a network scheme built using LoRa. | |

| Mar 15, 2018 at 15:18 | comment | added | Chris Stratton | This seems to be based on a fundamental misunderstanding: LoRa is an air modulation - it is not a protocol or a topology. It's in fairly active use in WANs, but not typically in a mesh topology, rather in a node - gateway one. | |
| Mar 22, 2017 at 10:45 | comment | added | Jeyara | Thanks for the background information on implementing network protocol. As you suggested, i would read more on ZigBee on 433Mhz and also on Silicon Labs' EZRadioPRO. | |
| Mar 22, 2017 at 7:31 | comment | added | Misunderstood | Yes, enlightened, you're a masochist. I only know a couple of programmers capable of do this sort of stuff. Depending on what you are planning on doing. I'm talking writing the network layers. If you want a mesh network, you need a network protocol. I've done 3 MAC chips so I have an idea how tough it is. I'm not saying you are not capable, I do not know you. You must be if you are willing to take this on. I really like the idea of putting ZigBee on 433Mhz. That should work. But do not know how multiple networks would play together. | |
| Mar 22, 2017 at 5:11 | comment | added | Jeyara | I think you have misunderstood. I am a programmer for living. Electronics is my hobby. So understanding code is not an issue. What i mean is to leverage some ground work from libraries already tested/established. Modify if needed and then focus building solution to my problem space rather solving a problem which is solved already be someone else. I didn't expect a happy day scenario right out of the box. I believe getting help is lot improved in 25 years when i started with stereo amplifiers. Hope that enlightens you. | |
| Mar 22, 2017 at 3:58 | comment | added | Misunderstood | What you really want is to plug in the board, install the drivers, and it works. Like bluetooth, WiFi. You do not want to be coding with someone else's library. Is the library supported? When (not if) you have a problem, who do you call? How good is the documentation. Why would you want to mess with a library? You want a product that works out of the box, you need not think about it, it just works. So you can go about doing the things you do, rather than wasting your time on a very likely frustrating dead end road. | |
| Mar 22, 2017 at 3:45 | comment | added | Jeyara | Thanks for the answer. I do understand LORA is just a plain hardware. But found some libraries to manage it. airspayce.com/mikem/arduino/RadioHead/index.html | |
