Thanks bro you also did a great job

The best my mentor in LoRAWAN thanks Dr.Johan Stocking, and another mentor, Thomas Telkamp

[@ukkamunda]

One of the best presentations I have seen in a long time. Johan explained it systematically.

[@omarcruz6326]

Great Material ! 👍 One of the most important tacke aways of the session: "Make sure that your solution can still work even if you loose maybe 10% of the msgs"... "Allow some redundancy". Very important to keep this in mind !!!

[@youngkevinsmith]

How do you measure that 10% loss? And how do you calculate scaling up the number of devices?tks

[@omarcruz6326]

Hi @@youngkevinsmith . Not sure if the question was for me 😜 In any case I will answer. How do you measure that 10% loss? I imagine it's purely based on practical data, which is very simple to do. Imagine a device should be sending a msg each 5mins. So, after 500mins (5minsx100) you should have 100msgs, then it's easy to see what is lost. And how do you calculate scaling up the number of devices? I think the number of devices has very very little or even nothing to do with the number of msgs lost. Why do you think that? Greetings from Belgium.

[@youngkevinsmith]

@@omarcruz6326 tks for your reply. I guess I am trying get to workout the 2 out of 100 messages that are lost. How do you work out why and how they were lost? And at the same time this 2 in a 100 lost messages could increase as you add more end devices. Which again I am trying to understand the why and how. And what the limits, number of devices for example, are of the system?

[@omarcruz6326]

Hi @@youngkevinsmith . "How do you work out why and how they were lost?" That's a good question. Yes, I do see some msgs getting lost sometimes, not very often but it does happen once in a while, reason why I consider important the fact of putting things in place to make sure that all works fine even if some msgs are lost. For these few msgs did I finally find the exact reason? Nope. What did I do? Well, I implemented a bit of redundancy to be on the safe side, like sending a periodic msg each X mins. If one msg is lost, it's not a big deal. That solution was good enough for my case :)

[@youngkevinsmith]

@@omarcruz6326 the system I am working on needs 99.99% or 100% reliability of messages on the downlink in a 10 min window and retries are allowed to help get it to 99.99%. Challenging!

Great presentation, as the tile says: Everything you need to know about LoRaWAN in 60 minutes... Saves my time, thank you !

[@zakirullah4088]

Thanks a lot for providing conceptual and compact lecture.

[@bharathvigneshsaichannel3758]

One of the best lecture on lorawan 💥💯

[@raredavid98]

This is a beautiful video that is absolutely necessary for growing this technology. I just discovered LoRaWAN but it really fits my use case and I am excited to dive deeper into this technology!

[@peervincent7845]

Thanx for the presentation )) One question, what happens if the node emission does fail? Is there a repeat algorithm in one of the upper layers? So, is the transmission acknowledged to be 100% safely sent to the Gateway? Explained at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2940">49:00</a>... thank you! :)

[@MrCWoodhouse]

Thanks so much for the excellent introduction!

[@anthonygentile4883]

Phenomenal presentation! Very clear and concise. Thank you!

[@bryanward8646]

At around, <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1213">20:13</a> you say there is Antenna Loss on the Rx side. I suspect you meant to say Antenna Gain. Your graph there shows gain as well.

[@bryanward8646]

Around 36:10, the CIA triangle, the A is traditionally Availability, not Authenticity

Hi, Thanks for the excellent presentation. Wondering if it is possible to share the presentation material ?

[@xyengineeringandtechnology8497]

Really amazing video. Thanks for sharing

[@gongye5133]

Great job Mr Johan. Just one thing, the unit of free space path loss should be dB instead of dBm, I assume this is a system which scales down the power transmitted rather than causing a specific power loss (like mW)? Also in <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1170">19:30</a> formula I guess you forgot the free space path loss?

Fascinating! Great presentation. I'm from a Wi-Fi background and have had no exposure to LoRaWAN, but I'm going to get some gear and try this out for myself. Thanks for sharing this information.

Glad it was helpful!

Same here, I‘m also a Wi-Fi guy starting to study LoRa. This video is perfect, so much detailed knowledge in only one hour. Good explanation and very helpful pictures and tables.

[@craiglarson2346]

Thank you for the presentation. I'm new to the subject, so please pardon me. I'm looking at the "Math model" graphic. Shouldn't the path loss curvature be reverse to that shown if the signal spreading is a inverse square of the distance? Maybe I don't understand logarithmic dbm scales well enough.

Hi! This is a great question for www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum

[@emilgil1490]

As usual theese radio transmission regulatory limitations introduced by law are something nobody is checking, real limitation is only power and that is being used with "squerq" modulation that is particularily advanced one - supposed to be efficient...
