RE: NRF9160 eDRX Power Draw Question

Hi Jameson,

Please check out the User Guide:

PDCCH repetitions during iDRX paging. This is set to 1 (no repetitions) in the OPP.

also note the disclaimer in the user guide: "This controlled test environment represents in many cases ideal conditions which may not be reproducible in a real network."

So measurements in real networks are to be expected higher than in this controlled estimator. We are working on improving the calculator more precises compared to real networks.

When it comes to the parameters you have set, have you verified that the network actually grants the eDRX interval and the PTW ? (can be done with the AT command: AT+CEDRXRDP)

Have you made sure to disable all uart and peripherals to avoid any unnecessary consumption?

Best regards,
Martin L.
