Abstract:

A method of providing wireless communications in a wireless network can include wirelessly receiving a chirp spread-spectrum modulated signal at a first gateway device, the chirp spread-spectrum modulated signal being transmitted by a remote client device. The chirp spread-spectrum modulated signal can be demodulated at the first gateway device to provide demodulated data at the first gateway device. The demodulated data can be processed to provide an indication that a decode of a packet including the demodulated data failed. Time adjacent chirps included in the demodulated data can be combined to provide combined data at the first gateway device. A message can be transmitted from the first gateway device to a remote server responsive to an amplitude of the combined data exceeding a threshold value and the indication that the decode of the packet including the demodulated data failed.
