Regional Parameters RP002-1.0.5 ©2022-2025 LoRa Alliance ® Page 102 of 116 The authors reserve the right to change specifications without notice. 4 Repeaters 2075 2076 Repeaters have not yet been specified by the LoRa Alliance; however, this specification does 2077 include references to repeaters and constraints that end-devices should follow to be compliant 2078 with them. 2079 4.1 Repeater Compatible Maximum Payload Size 2080 Repeaters, as referenced in this specification, were intended to fully encapsulate a 2081 MACPayload in the ApplicationPayload of another LoRaWAN data message. In addition 2082 to the original MACPayload, up to 20 bytes of metadata describing the original message were 2083 envisioned to be included with the encapsulated data message. In order to minimize impact 2084 on the end-device and its application, repeaters would communicate with the network 2085 (gateways) using only data rates that supported the maximum allowed MACPayload size of 2086 250 bytes. Therefore, these data rates show a maximum payload size that is 20 bytes fewer 2087 when describing "Repeater Compatible" operation. 2088 2089
