APPENDIX 5: END-DEVICE RELAY MODE 1927
ACTIVATION MANAGEMENT (INFORMATIVE) 1928
1929
As mentioned in this specification, prior to joining a LoRaWAN network, an end-device 1930
should autonomously decide whether or not to enable relay mode. 1931
1932
The following recommendation only applies to an end-device in "end-device controlled" 1933
mode (opposed to network controlled - Refer to "Table 40: RelayModeActivation format", 1934
value 0, 1 or 2). 1935
1936
When the end-device sends a Join-Request, it is recommended to enable the relay mode 1937
once every 4 frames. If the Join-Accept has been received on RXR, the end-device should 1938
keep the relay mode enabled. Otherwise, it should disable the relay mode. 1939
1940
Once the end-device is connected to the network: 1941
• It should disable the relay mode if it does not receive a WOR ACK after 8 WORs. 1942
It should enable the relay mode if it does not receive a valid downlink after 16 1943
uplinks. 1944
