from rylr998 import PHYEncode, PHYDecode, FrameGen, FrameSync
import numpy as np
# === Transmit ===
encoder = PHYEncode(sf=9, cr=1, has_crc=True)
frame_gen = FrameGen(sf=9, networkid=18)
payload = b"Hello, LoRa!"
bins = encoder.encode(payload)
iq = frame_gen.generate_frame(bins)
# === Receive (loopback) ===
sync = FrameSync(sf=9)
result = sync.sync_from_samples(iq)
decoder = PHYDecode(sf=9)
# For loopback: use_grlora_gray=False, soft_decoding=True

|----|--------------|-----------|-------------|-------|
| 7 | 128 | Highest | Lowest | Shortest |
| 8 | 256 | ↓ | ↓ | ↓ |
| 9 | 512 | (default) | (typical) | (typical) |

| 4 | 4/8 | 100% | Best |
### NETWORKID / Sync Word
The RYLR998 NETWORKID (0-255) maps directly to the LoRa sync word byte. See `NETWORKID_MAPPING.md` for details.
Common values:
- **18** (0x12): Private networks, RYLR998 default
- **52** (0x34): LoRaWAN public networks
---
## Implementation Notes
### Fractional SFD Handling
The LoRa SFD (Start Frame Delimiter) is **2.25 downchirps**, not an integer. This means data symbols start at a fractional sample offset.
The `FrameSync` block handles this by:
1. Counting 2 full downchirps in the state machine
2. Adding a 0.25 symbol offset when extracting data
If you see data symbols offset by 1-2 positions, check that fractional SFD handling is correct.
### Gray Coding
LoRa uses Gray coding to minimize bit errors when adjacent symbols are confused.
- **TX (encode):** `g = b ^ (b >> 1)` — converts binary to Gray
- **RX (decode):** Iterative XOR unwinding — converts Gray back to binary
The decoder's `use_grlora_gray` parameter controls which direction:
- `True`: Applies `x ^ (x >> 1)` (same as TX encode) — use for gr-lora_sdr captures
- `False`: Applies iterative Gray decode (inverse) — use for loopback testing
### Bin Offset Convention
Different receiver implementations use different bin conventions:
| Source | Bin Convention | Decoder Setting |
|--------|----------------|-----------------|
| gr-lora_sdr | Raw bins + 1 | `soft_decoding=False` (default) |
| gr-rylr998 loopback | Raw bins | `soft_decoding=True` |
### Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Likely Cause | Solution |
|---------|--------------|----------|
| Data symbols offset by 1-2 | Fractional SFD not handled | Check FrameSync version |
| Payload garbage, CRC fails | Wrong Gray mode | Toggle `use_grlora_gray` |
| Payload off by 1 symbol | Wrong bin offset | Toggle `soft_decoding` |
| NETWORKID wrong | CFO not subtracted | Check `cfo_bin` parameter |
| Preamble not detected | Threshold too high | Lower `preamble_min` |

```
┌────────────────┐ ┌──────────────┐
┌───▶│ Freq Xlating │────▶│ RYLR998 RX │───┐
│ │ Filter (ch 0) │ │ SF9 │ │
┌─────────────┐ │ └────────────────┘ └──────────────┘ │
│ SDR Source │─────┤ │ ┌─────────────┐
│ Wideband │ │ ┌────────────────┐ ┌──────────────┐ ├──▶│ Msg Mux/ │
└─────────────┘ ├───▶│ Freq Xlating │────▶│ RYLR998 RX │───┤ │ Aggregator │
│ │ Filter (ch 1) │ │ SF9 │ │ └─────────────┘
│ └────────────────┘ └──────────────┘ │
│ │
└───▶ ... more channels ... ────┘
```
**Key Settings:**
- SDR Source: Wide bandwidth (e.g., 2 MHz)
- Freq Xlating Filters: Tune to each channel center
- Each RX can have different SF/NETWORKID
---
### 5. Detailed RX Chain (Custom Processing)

```
┌───────────┐ ┌─────────────┐ ┌─────────────┐ ┌─────────────┐ ┌───────────┐
│ SDR Source│────▶│ CSS Demod │────▶│ Frame Sync │────▶│ PHY Decode │────▶│ Msg Debug │
│ │ IQ │ │bins │ │syms │ │ msg │ │
└───────────┘ └──────┬──────┘ └──────┬──────┘ └─────────────┘ └───────────┘
│ │
▼ ▼
┌─────────────┐ ┌─────────────┐
│ File Sink │ │ Tag Debug │
│ (raw bins) │ │ (NETWORKID) │
└─────────────┘ └─────────────┘
```
This allows:
- Saving raw demodulated bins for analysis
- Monitoring NETWORKID without full decode
- Custom filtering between stages
---
### 6. Detailed TX Chain (Custom Processing)
```
┌─────────────┐ ┌─────────────┐ ┌─────────────┐ ┌─────────────┐ ┌───────────┐

| Spreading Factor | 7-12 | Higher = longer range, lower rate |
| Sample Rate | Hz | Must be ≥ bandwidth × oversampling |
| Bandwidth | 125e3, 250e3, 500e3 | LoRa signal bandwidth |
| Coding Rate | 1-4 | 1=4/5, 2=4/6, 3=4/7, 4=4/8 |
### RX-Specific Parameters
| Parameter | Default | Description |
|-----------|---------|-------------|
| Expected NETWORKID | -1 | Filter frames by NID (-1 = accept all) |

---
## Sample Rate Guidelines
| Configuration | Minimum Sample Rate | Recommended |
|---------------|--------------------:|------------:|
| BW=125kHz, any SF | 125 kHz | 250 kHz |
| BW=250kHz, any SF | 250 kHz | 500 kHz |
| BW=500kHz, any SF | 500 kHz | 1 MHz |
**Note:** Higher sample rates improve timing accuracy but increase CPU load.
---
## Tips & Troubleshooting
### No Frames Detected
1. **Check center frequency** - Must match RYLR998 setting
2. **Check NETWORKID** - Set to `-1` to accept any, or match RYLR998
3. **Check bandwidth** - RYLR998 default is 125 kHz
4. **Lower sample rate** - Try `sample_rate = bw` first
5. **Check antenna** - Ensure proper connection
### Decoded Payload is Garbage
1. **SF mismatch** - Must match transmitter exactly
2. **CR mismatch** - Must match transmitter
3. **Wrong decode mode** - For real SDR captures, use defaults
### High CPU Usage
1. **Reduce sample rate** - Use minimum needed
2. **Increase SF** - Lower symbol rate = less processing
3. **Add decimation** - Before RYLR998 RX block
### Message Output Format
The RX block outputs PMT messages with:
```python
{
'payload': bytes, # Decoded payload
'networkid': int, # Extracted NETWORKID
'cfo_bin': float, # Carrier frequency offset
'crc_ok': bool, # CRC verification result
'rssi': float, # Signal strength (if available)
}
```

# RYLR998 NETWORKID ↔ LoRa Sync Word Mapping
## Discovery
Through SDR captures and analysis, we discovered that the RYLR998 module's NETWORKID (0-255) maps directly to the LoRa sync word byte using a simple nibble-to-bin transformation.
## The Mapping
```
Sync Word Byte: 0xHH where H = high nibble, L = low nibble
CSS Symbol 1 (sync_delta_1) = H × 8 = (NID >> 4) × 8
CSS Symbol 2 (sync_delta_2) = L × 8 = (NID & 0x0F) × 8
```
The factor of 8 is a **fixed constant** used by RYLR998 (verified through SDR captures). This differs from standard LoRa which would use `N/16` scaling.
## Verification
| NETWORKID | Hex | High Nibble | Low Nibble | Sync Bin 1 | Sync Bin 2 | Verified |
|-----------|------|-------------|------------|------------|------------|----------|
| 3 | 0x03 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 24 | ✓ |
| 5 | 0x05 | 0 | 5 | 0 | 40 | ✓ |
| 17 | 0x11 | 1 | 1 | 8 | 8 | ✓ |
| 18 | 0x12 | 1 | 2 | 8 | 16 | ✓ |
| 52 | 0x34 | 3 | 4 | 24 | 32 | (LoRaWAN)|
## Standard LoRa Sync Words
| Name | Sync Byte | NETWORKID | Sync Bins |
|---------------|-----------|-----------|-------------|
| Private | 0x12 | 18 | [8, 16] |
| LoRaWAN Public| 0x34 | 52 | [24, 32] |
## Code Implementation
### Python
```python
def networkid_to_sync_word(nid: int) -> tuple[int, int]:
"""Convert NETWORKID to sync word symbol deltas."""
high_nibble = (nid >> 4) & 0x0F
low_nibble = nid & 0x0F
return (high_nibble * 8, low_nibble * 8)
def sync_word_to_networkid(deltas: tuple[int, int]) -> int:
"""Convert sync word deltas back to NETWORKID."""
high_nibble = deltas[0] // 8
low_nibble = deltas[1] // 8
return (high_nibble << 4) | low_nibble
```
### Full Range Table
```
NID=0 (0x00) → sync=[ 0, 0]
NID=1 (0x01) → sync=[ 0, 8]
NID=2 (0x02) → sync=[ 0, 16]
...
NID=16 (0x10) → sync=[ 8, 0]
NID=17 (0x11) → sync=[ 8, 8]
NID=18 (0x12) → sync=[ 8, 16]
...
NID=255 (0xFF) → sync=[120, 120]
```
## Why This Matters
1. **Interoperability**: You can decode RYLR998 traffic with standard LoRa hardware by knowing the sync word
2. **Filtering**: Filter frames by NETWORKID in software without full decode
3. **Testing**: Generate RYLR998-compatible frames from any SDR
## SDR Capture Notes
When capturing RYLR998 frames:
1. The preamble consists of 8+ upchirps at bin 0
2. Sync word is 2 upchirps with bins = nibble × (N/16)
3. SFD is 2.25 downchirps
4. Data follows with the encoded payload
The sync word symbols are measured relative to the preamble bin (which represents the carrier frequency offset).
