TP_A_EU868_ED_MAC_104_RETRANSMISSION_BACKOFF fails due to violation of duty cycle restrictions
Hi all,
I'm using the latest LBM v4.8.0 tag source code and I'm trying to execute the LCTT TP_A_EU868_ED_MAC_104_RETRANSMISSION_BACKOFF test for EU868. Test has a FAIL result. Was this test been executed on your side? do you have some hints on that? I attached the LCTT log of FAIL result.
More over, I noticed that the Duty cycle service seems implemented for EU868 and RU864 regions, but it is totally missed for AS923. Is there a reason for that? Did I miss something?
Thank you, best regards, Laura Scalzo
Hello,
Have you disabled the certification mode to run this test ? else the Join duty-cycle constraint is not honored.
The regional duty-cycle is not required for AS923.
This test, only check the join-request backoff duty-cycle, it's to be sure the device does not try to join infinitely if not registered on a network for example.
Best
Hello,
I didn't disable the certification mode, but this should not impact the backoff test. The test steps are only related to join and to count the join requests. No commands to disable Duty Cycle is sent by TCL. Why do you refer to Certification mode?
Could I see the LCTT logs related to the Backoff test for LBM, please? Just to see what I should expect. Thanks.
Instead, looking the RP02-1.0.4 Specification Table 2: Dynamic channel plan summary, the AS923 has the same indication of RU864 and EU868 for Duty Cycle <1%, so in my understanding the Duty Cycle limitation should be implemented also for AS923. Why do you think it should not be done?
Thank you, regards, Laura
Hello,
Seems also that there is logic to consider the Duty Cycle periods of 1h, 10h and 24h. Seems it is implemented only to cover the 1h period. Any comments on that please?
Thank you, regards, Laura
