I am willing to send a 100 byte payload. However, I want to fit as much data in that packet as possible. The question is: How can I carry out lossless compression for such a small packet size? I have already carried out bit packing and truncation to ensure the payload size is as small as possible. Lossless compression schemes such as LZSS and Huffman coding have large over heads that make the “compressed” packet ev… --- _[View the full topic](https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum/t/max-range-and-performance-within-limitations/39240)._
