P2P mode can not work

The device performs well in LoRaWAN mode, whether ABP or OTAA.

However, after adjusting to P2P mode, when using at + send = lorap2p: data to send data, the gateway cannot receive any packet.

By the way, did I misunderstand the meaning of P2P? I want to receive non lorawan packets on the gateway. Can P2P only communicate between two nodes?

The following is the configuration in LoRaWAN mode:

Hi @haowong,
The P2P mode is only for transmitting messages between 2 nodes. One of them is a transmitter and the other is the receiver.
In this mode, they do not communicate with the gateway.

How can I make the gateway receive non lorawan packets?

I see that the physical payload of packets used by others is only 10 bytes in paper, while the smallest lorawan packet payload is 13 bytes.

Gateways are usually designed to work on Lorawan. I haven’t seen gateways working on their own protocol yet (non lorawan packets).

But of course it is not impossible to have a special firmware for your concentrator to have your own protocol (not lorawan) but I don’t think it will be easy (or probably not easy to me :sweat_smile: ).

I just want to collect LoRa physical layer packets without MIC、MACHeader and something like that in LoRaWAN through the gateway for research.

There seems to be some problems.
