ChirpStack v4.19.0-test.6

v4.19.0-test.6

Features

Class-B improvements

This release adds a class_b_schedule_advance configuration option, which controls how far in advance a Class-B downlink can be scheduled. The previous behavior was to immediately schedule the next ping-slot, which could be minutes in the future and causing frame-counter issues in case a Class-A downlink was sent before the already scheduled Class-B ping-slot.

It also adds a device-profile option to only send application payloads using Class-B (if enabled). This option can also help reduce out-of-order downlinks and can reduce data-rate related issues (e.g. payload exceeds max. payload size for Class-A downlink data-rate).

Per-tenant DevAddr range

This release adds support for assigning DevAddr ranges per tenant, providing the option to let each tenant use their own DevAddr range. Note that these DevAddr ranges must be a sub-set of the network available DevAddr range. ChirpStack does not enforce that each tenant has an unique range (but provides an API to check if a given range has already been used by).

Improve Class-B / Class-C downlink path selection

This option makes it possible to configure the uplink history that ChirpStack keeps for Class-B / Class-C downlink path selection. Based on this history, ChirpStack will select the best gateway using SNR, RSSI and number of times a gateway reported an uplink within the kept history. This means that gateway reporting uplinks more often are considered more stable and are therefore preferred over the other gateways.

Add downlink priority gateway config

This option can be used to increase / decrease scoring when ChirpStack selects a gateway for downlink transmissions. E.g. gateways with a high-gain antenna might not be the best downlink path, and with this option could be assigned a low priority for downlink.
