Power consumption with LMIC

End Devices (Nodes) LMIC

Well, for changing the standard you would have to deal with https://lora-alliance.org/.

The title of this topic is way too generic.

Hardware like type of board, MCU type and LoRa module all play an essential role. Only with one or more well defined hardware configurations would discussing ‘power usage of LMIC’ make real sense.
And those should be extreme bare bones hardware configurations, not one of those more generic ‘all-in-one’ LoRa boards (e.g. LoRa32, T-Beam and alike). Without well defined hardware configurations discussing power usage of LMIC would be like comparing apples and oranges.

When having some well defined bare bones configurations, their power consumption could then be compared with other hardware configurations (e.g. all-in-one boards) to see how low-power friendly such boards are or are not. But latter says little about power consumption related to LMIC, it says more about power consumption that is NOT LMIC related.

Remarks like ‘removing LED’s’ of course help lower power usage, but they fit better in a “Solutions for Low-power nodes” topic than in “Power consumption with LMIC” because do not relate to properties and behavior of the LMIC library.

I dont see that TTNmapper ‘requires’ TinyLoRa, use LMIC if you want, but given that its recommended to stick to SF7 for TTNmapper, then TinyLoRa is a good fit.
