Usage

Once LoRaFlexSim is installed you can run simulations using the command line. The examples/run_basic.py script accepts several parameters that let you tailor scenarios to your needs.

• --nodes <N> – number of end devices in the simulation.
• --steps <S> – number of discrete simulation steps to run.
• --gateways <G> – number of gateways (default: 1).
• --interval <T> – inter‑arrival time between packet generations in seconds.
• --adr <METHOD> – Adaptive Data Rate method (e.g., avg, max, exploRa-AT, ml).
• --class <CLASS> – LoRaWAN device class (A, B or C).

Example invocation:

python examples/run_basic.py --nodes 50 --steps 2000 --gateways 2 --interval 30 --adr avg --class A

Additional parameters (such as channel assignments or duty‑cycle constraints) can be specified via configuration files or by extending the provided scripts. You may write your own scenarios by importing the core modules from the loraflexsim package and composing nodes, gateways, servers and channels.
