- name of the term: Duty Cycle
- descriptions of the term:
Maximum allowed transmission percentage per unit of time
The duty cycle limits the transmission time per unit of time. In Europe, a limit of 10% applies at 869.525 MHz. The formula is: duty_cycle = 100 / (airtime_factor + 1). Since MeshCore typically has a transmission ratio below 1%, an airtime factor of 1 is recommended.
