 ==== -. Running Basic Sketches ====
-Download the {{ :example-lora-sketch.zip | basic sketches}} that implement a reliable LoRa communication between the two modules. Open the sketches with Arduino IDE, compile and upload on the two arduino modules, respectively. On the serial interfaces, you should obtain similar results as in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3. The client sends a short message and waits for an acknowledgement message from the server. Both modules output the RSSI (received power in dBm) for each received message.

 In the remainder of this lab, you will conduct measurements to validate the obtained theoretical receiver sensitivity.
 ===== -. Performance Evaluation =====
 In the following, you will design and implement a set of scenarios that enable to evaluate the performance of the LoRa modulation. As you will deal with scientific assessment, you are required to use scientific tools to show the results. You have the choice between [[http://www.gnuplot.info | gnuplot]], [[https://matplotlib.org/index.html#|matplotlib]] with Python, and MATLAB. Take some time to become familiar with one of these software as you will be required to use them in different occasions of your academic programme.

-==== -. Packet Error Rate ====
+==== -. Packet Delivery Ratio ====
 In this section, you will measure the Packet Error Rate (PER) under the three different radio configurations and for different transmission periods. For this, you can start by implementing a function on the client that measures the ratio of successfully delivered packets.
