- Mbed LoRa radio driver: constructed by the application and passed down to stack.
- Mbed LoRaWAN stack, MAC controller layer: controls the operation of the stack.
- Mbed LoRaWAN stack, PHY layer: computes and provides the regional PHY parameters for processing by MAC controller layer.
- An `EventQueue` shared between application and the stack for synchronization. It is required that the application constructs an `EventQueue` object and passes it down to stack.

<span class="notes">**Note:** LoRaPHY is a stack level protocol layer that handles regional parameters, regardless of which radio chip is being used. LoRaRadio is the real instance of a radio driver, controlling the registers and interrupts on the physical chip.</span>
##### Mbed LoRa radio driver

Mbed LoRa radio drivers reside out of the Mbed OS tree. Arm provides support for `SX1272` and `SX1276` LoRa radios, which are the most widely used LoRa end-device radio chipsets.
Mbed LoRa radio drivers reside outside of the Mbed OS tree. Arm provides support for `SX1272` and `SX1276` LoRa radios, which are the most widely used LoRa end-device radio chipsets.

Arm Mbed OS contains a pure virtual class `LoRaRadio`, which you can use to inherit from and provide an Mbed LoRa radio driver to complement Mbed applications and the Mbed LoRaWAN stack. You can find a complete reference to the `LoRaRadio` class in the [LoRaRadio API reference](/docs/development/apis/loraradio-api.html).
