Hey everyone,

I'm working on a project that involves deploying a significant number of LoRaWAN end devices in a relatively small area, leading to a high-density network. We're primarily sending uplink data (sensor readings) at regular intervals. I'm looking for some real-world advice and best practices on optimizing uplink reliability and minimizing collisions in such an environment. Specifically, I'm curious about:

Adaptive Data Rate (ADR) strategies: How aggressively should ADR be configured in high-density scenarios? Are there specific thresholds or algorithms you've found effective?
Payload optimization: Beyond simply reducing payload size, are there clever encoding schemes or data aggregation techniques that have yielded significant improvements?
Channel planning and frequency hopping: What are your experiences with these for managing interference and maximizing throughput in dense deployments?
Any unconventional tips: Have you stumbled upon any less-known tricks or configurations that have made a noticeable difference?
Thanks in advance for any insights you can share!
