YANG module for LoRa Networks

This document provides a YANG module description for managing a LoRa endpoints. SemTech (c) is a low-rate, low-power, long-range radio technology. It could be used as a base radio technology for building Low-Rate Wide-Area Networks (LR-WAN), also known as LPWA (Low-Power Wide Area). SemTech (c) has the following characteristics: Works in narrow, license-free (ISM) bands with good propagation properties (< 1GHz) Low- to very-low throughput (270 bps--200 kbps) Low-power operation (25 mW in Europe) Far-Reaching communication capabilities (20 km with line-of-sight, several km in urban environment) Strong channel access restrictions (1% to 10% duty cycling) The management of LoRa-based devices can be done through a standard approach, compatible with the best network-operator practices, namely NETCONF or RESTCONF. A formal definition of the parameters and the values to be managed is thus required, which can be done with the YANG module language. The following document presents a YANG module definition for managing a LoRa-based end-device.

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119.

The data model has the following structure for Lora configuration:

The data model defines a state container Mode which include the three principal characteristics of the LoRA interface which determine the parameters of the channel

This model imports typedefs from [RFC6991].
