17 Class C: Continuously listening end-device
- The end-devices implanting the Class C option are used for applications that have sufficient
- power available and thus do not need to minimize reception time.
- Class C end-devices cannot implement Class B option.
- The Class C end-device will listen with RX2 windows parameters as often as possible. The
6 end-device listens on RX2 when it is not either (a) sending or (b) receiving on RX1,
- according to Class A definition. To do so, it will open a short window on RX2 parameters
- between the end of the uplink transmission and the beginning of the RX1 reception window
- and it will switch to RX2 reception parameters as soon as the RX1 reception window is
- closed; the RX2 reception window will remain open until the end-device has to send another
- message.

15 | join procedure. |
