| End devices in a LoRaWAN network come in three classes: Class A, Class B and Class C. While end devices can always send uplinks at will, the device’s class determines when it can receive downlinks. The class also determines a device’s energy efficiency. The more energy efficient a device, the longer the battery life. All end devices must support Class A (“Aloha”) communications. Class A end devices spend most of their time in sleep mode. Because LoRaWAN is not a “slotted” protocol, end devices can communicate with the network server any time there is a change in a sensor reading or when a timer fires. Basically, they can wake up and talk to the server at any moment. After the device sends an uplink, it “listens” for a message from the network one and two seconds after the uplink (receive windows) before going back to sleep. Class A is the most energy efficient and results in the longest battery life In contrast, rather than only waiting for one of its sensors to notice a change in the environment or fire a timer, Class B end devices also wake up and open a receive window to listen for a downlink according to a configurable, network-defined schedule. A periodic beacon signal transmitted by the network allows those end devices to synchronize their internal clocks with the network server. Finally, Class C (“Continuous”) end devices never go to sleep. They constantly listen for downlink messages from the network, except when transmitting data in response to a sensor event. These devices are more energy-intensive, and usually require a constant power source, rather than relying on a battery. |
LoRa가 통신 주기가 길고 응답이 느린게 class A 통신방식이라서 그런거였나?

class C 일 경우 좀더 빈번하게 보낼수 있는 듯 하다.

어.. lora랑 LoRaWAN은 다른건가?
