Xiaoling 44.4 49 * **For Uplink:**  The sensor sends data to LoRa Gateway via LoRa wireless, The gateway will process these data and forward to remote MQTT Broker via Internet.
50 * **For Downlink:** The gateway subscribe a topic in the MQTT broker, when there is update on the topic, the gateway will know and broadcast the data to Local LoRa network,

Xiaoling 1.2 64
65 Assume there are two sensor nodes, their ID are Node1 ID: 6734 , Node2 ID: 7456. In the remote MQTT broker there are two topics: Topic1: /channel/765800, Topic2: /channel/367860. We can set up in the gateway to map Node1 to Topic1 and Node2 to Topic2. So when there is a sensor data from Node1, the gateway will forward the data to Topic1, when there is sensor data from Node2, the gateway will forward to Topic2.
