Member Function Documentation

virtual bool check_rf_frequency ( uint32_t  frequency)
pure virtual

Checks whether the given RF is in range.

Parameters
frequencyThe frequency to check.
virtual uint8_t get_status ( void  )
pure virtual

Gets the radio status.

Returns
The current radio status.
virtual void init_radio ( radio_events_t events)
pure virtual

Registers radio events with the Mbed LoRaWAN stack and undergoes initialization steps, if any.

Parameters
eventsContains driver callback functions.
virtual void lock ( void  )
pure virtual

Acquires exclusive access to this radio.

virtual bool perform_carrier_sense ( radio_modems_t  modem,
uint32_t  freq,
int16_t  rssi_threshold,
uint32_t  max_carrier_sense_time 
)
pure virtual

Performs carrier sensing.

Checks for a certain time if the RSSI is above a given threshold. This threshold determines whether or not there is a transmission on the channel already.

Parameters
modemThe type of radio modem.
freqThe carrier frequency.
rssi_thresholdThe threshold value of RSSI.
max_carrier_sense_timeThe time set for sensing the channel (ms).
Returns
True if there is no active transmission in the channel, otherwise false.
virtual void radio_reset ( )
pure virtual

Resets the radio module.

virtual uint32_t random ( void  )
pure virtual

Generates a 32 bit random value based on RSSI readings.

Remarks
This function sets the radio in LoRa modem mode and disables all interrupts. After calling this function, either Radio.SetRxConfig or Radio.SetTxConfig functions must be called.
Returns
A 32 bit random value.
virtual void receive ( void  )
pure virtual

Sets the radio to reception mode.

To configure the receiver, use the set_rx_config() API.

virtual void send ( uint8_t *  buffer,
uint8_t  size 
)
pure virtual

Sends the packet.

Prepares the packet to be sent and sets the radio to transmission mode.

Parameters
bufferA pointer to the buffer.
sizeThe buffer size.
virtual void set_channel ( uint32_t  freq)
pure virtual

Sets the carrier frequency.

Parameters
freqChannel RF frequency.
virtual void set_max_payload_length ( radio_modems_t  modem,
uint8_t  max 
)
pure virtual

Sets the maximum payload length.

Parameters
modemThe radio modem [0: FSK, 1: LoRa].
maxThe maximum payload length in bytes.
virtual void set_public_network ( bool  enable)
pure virtual

Sets the network to public or private.

Updates the sync byte. Applies to LoRa modem only.

Parameters
enableIf true, enables a public network.
