However the three 10 following default channels must be implemented in every EU868MHz end-device. Those 11 channels are the minimum set that all network gateways should always be listening on. 12 13 Modulation Bandwidth [kHz] Channel Frequency [MHz] FSK Bitrate or LoRa DR / Bitrate Nb Channels Duty cycle LoRa 125 868.10 868.30 868.50 DR0 to DR5 / 0.3-5 kbps 3 <1% Table 2: EU863-870 default channels 14 In order to access the physical medium the ETSI regulations impose some restrictions such 15 maximum time the transmitter can be on or the maximum time a transmitter can transmit per 16 hour. The ETSI regulations allow the choice of using either a duty-cycle limitation or a so- 17 called Listen Before Talk Adaptive Frequency Agility (LBT AFA) transmissions 18 management. The current LoRaWAN specification exclusively uses duty-cycled limited 19 transmissions to comply with the ETSI regulations. 20 EU868MHz ISM band end-devices should use the following default parameters 21 Default ERP: 14 dBm 22 EU868MHz end-devices should be capable of operating in the 863 to 870 MHz frequency 23 band and should feature a channel data structure to store the parameters of at least 16 24 channels. A channel data structure corresponds to a frequency and a set of data rates 25 usable on this frequency. 26 The first three channels correspond to 868.1, 868.3, and 868.5 MHz / DR0 to DR5 and must 27 be implemented in every end-device. Those default channels cannot be modified through 28 the NewChannelReq command and guarantee a minimal common channel set between 29 end-devices and network gateways. 30 The following table gives the list of frequencies that should be used by end-devices to 31 broadcast the JoinReq message. The JoinReq message transmit duty-cycle shall follow the 32
