Hello all,
This question may be too broad/outside the scope of this forum, and if so I would appreciate kindly pointing me in the right direction. I am new to wireless communication devices and have run into a snag on a project. I am trying to see if I am able to work around this problem, but so far have had no luck. I am trying to develop an IoT sensor that can broadcast its data to a node in a network and will have the capability of forwarding other nodes' packets if needed. I am trying to test this using an RTL-SDR and GNU Radio to see if I can sense the packets when the unit send the data. Originally, I attempted this using a different brand's LoRa transceiver MCU board, but ran into the problem of not having a gateway that can send confirmation back to the MCU board. The way LoRaWAN is structured, the LoRa transceiver would not send data unless it knew it was connected to a network, which makes sense, but does not help me now as I don't have a LoRa gateway that can create a network.
Just for proof of concept, I would like to use a wireless MCU—namely the CC1312R or the CC1310—to send the sensor data that I can visually see on the GNU Radio companion. I am hoping that I won't run into the same problem as before where I need an actual gateway that can confirm the network-connectivity. With these products, is it possible to have them transmit even without being connected to a network? If not are there any TI products that have that capability?
