PingSlotInfoReq sent by end-device after receiving McClassBSessionReq - not compliant with LoRaWAN L2 specification #152
When a device receives a McClassBSessionReq command from the Remote Multicast
Setup Package, the LBM stack needs to temporarily switch to class B to start the
multicast session, receive fragments, and then revert to its original class when the session ends.
The lorawan_class_b_management service is responsible for enabling Class B. Its
standard flow seems to be:
Send PingSlotInfoReq MAC command to the Network Server
Wait for PingSlotInfoAns from the Network Server
Start beacon search only after PingSlotInfoAns is received
Start ping slots only after beacon is locked and PingSlotInfoAns was received
"This command SHALL be used only to inform the server of the periodicity of a unicast
ping slot. A multicast slot is entirely defined by the application and SHALL NOT use
this command."
As per my understanding, the LBM code is non-compliant with above part of the spec.
After receiving a McClassBSessionReq, steps 1 and 2 should not happen
(unless the device is already in class B with a different ping-slot periodicity),
and the LBM stack should directly start beacon search.
