-==== -. Coverage ==== 
  
-In this section, you will measure the coverage of LoRa under different radio configurations. 
- 
-Start by identifying a set of five geographical locations or Test Points (TP). These TPs should be astutely chosen to explore the limits of LoRa coverage. Then, you should implement a function on the server that measures the ratio of successfully delivered packets or PDR (Packet Delivery Ratio). Now, you should run the experiment for three different radio configurations: such configurations should provide different reliability levels (high, medium, and low reliability).
