You will assess the impact of the spreading factor, bandwidth, coding rate, and packet size on the ToA.
  
-Start by implementing a function on the client that measures the time necessary for sending a message. For example, you can use the [[https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/Micros| micros()]] function available in the arduino libraries. Now, you can modify one of the parameters (spreading factor, bandwidth, coding rate, message size) and record the impact on the ToA. Note well that you may need to repeat the experiment multiple times in order to obtain the statistical distribution.+Start by implementing a function on the client that measures the time necessary for sending a packet. You can have recourse to the [[https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/Micros| micros()]] function available in the arduino libraries.

 + 
 +For example, the scenario for assessing the impact of the spreading factor on the ToA consists of sending 100 packets for three different spreading factors //e.g.,// 7, 9, and 10, and drawing the average ToA or the distribution in a boxplot for comparing the results.
