adamdunkels 46b2451969 Made the initial link estimate explicit 2010-09-22 22:03:21 +00:00
adamdunkels 18e31f33b9 Minor tweaks. Removed debug output from CVS. 2010-09-14 06:48:36 +00:00
adamdunkels 591766e663 Significant improvements to the Collect protocol:
* Loop detection and untangling. Now uses in-band loop detection that
  works.

* Link quality estimation. Now starts with a conservative /
  pessimistic estimate for new links.

* Retransmissions. MAC layer and network layer retransmissions are now
  decoupled.

* Loss handling. Deals better with losses now.

* Concurrent applications. Each connection now maintains its own
  neighbor table with separated cost to sink estimates for each
  connection.
2010-09-13 13:28:14 +00:00
adamdunkels 4e0744954a Rewrite of important parts of the Collect logic: link estimation
calculation and parent selection.  This fixes a severe bug that caused
loops when packets were erroneously retransmitted due to ACK loss.

adamdunkels 2647f879c2 Bugfix: select the best parent if current parent is NULL 2010-06-14 06:54:47 +00:00
nifi f6e0b46f38 * Made Chameleon header processing module configurable (CHAMELEON_CONF_MODULE)
* Removed the unused init function from header processing modules
* Added option CHAMELEON_CONF_WITH_MAC_LINK_ADDRESSES to specify that
  MAC link addresses should be used instead of Chameleon's own encoding
  of sender and receiver. This avoids encoding the link addresses twice
  when the MAC RDC has its own addresses.

adamdunkels a8d8b6d31d Improved parent management: parent neighbor is retained until a better neighbor is found (with 1 ETX less than parent). Don't drop parent neighbors when loop is detected (loops are transient anyway). 2010-04-01 10:45:21 +00:00

* Renamed packetbuf attribute PACKETBUF_ATTR_MAX_MAC_REXMIT to PACKETBUF_ATTR_MAX_MAC_TRANSMISSIONS where value 0 (attribute not set) means that default number of transmissions should be used.
2010-03-26 12:29:29 +00:00
adamdunkels a4f9e62295 Added a parameter to collect_open() that specifies whether or not the node should be a router for packets, or only an originator of packets. Updated the collect module to the new annoucement API. 2010-03-25 08:51:07 +00:00
adamdunkels 2559e27414 API change to the announcement module: an annoucement can now be registered without a value. Such announcements are never transmitted to neighbors, until the announcement's value is set. 2010-03-25 08:49:56 +00:00

adamdunkels 7165a3866f Significant rework of the Contiki data collection protocol:
* the new version makes use of MAC-layer feedback so that bad paths
  can be identified quicker and then avoided.

* the new code uses transport layer ACKs that contain feedback from
  the collect protocol: when a packet cannot be forwarded due to lack
  of resources, the ACK contains a flag that indicates that the packet
  could not be forwarded. ACKs also contain the routing metric of the
  sender, which improves agility in face of rapid path changes.

* loop detection and management has been improved: with higher path
  metric agility, the system is more prone to short-lived routing
  loops. Instead of dropping looping packets, the new version adjusts
  the routing metric for the routes that exhibit loops so that the
  risk for future loops is reduced.

* make use of packet attributes to inform the MAC layer of how many
  times packets should be retransmitted.

nifi c20047f657 Changed the network stack to use different structures for the different layers (network_driver, mac_driver, rdc_driver, radio_driver). This helps to avoid incorrect configuration. 2010-02-23 20:09:11 +00:00
adamdunkels ca0417a923 Added the MAC layer callback functionality so that the Rime network layer gets information from the MAC about the status of sent packets: were they successfully transmitted, or was there a collisions? How many retries were there? 2010-02-23 18:38:05 +00:00
adamdunkels f10eedab3e Added debug printout 2010-02-23 18:37:15 +00:00
adamdunkels 2d13fecea7 Improved backoff management: timer is now doubled on every transmission, until the using module calls the neighbor_discovery_start() function again. Don't cancel the transmission even if a lower value arrives (this fixes a problem with multi-hop ETX propagaion). 2010-02-23 18:36:50 +00:00
adamdunkels 0eade2886c Better loop handling: when a loop is detected, the neighbor to which the packet was originally sent gets an inflated ETX; made sure that collect without announcments work; increased timeouts, to work nicer in larger networks 2010-02-23 18:35:23 +00:00
adamdunkels a4d9d6651b Added the option to specify the old value to observers so that they can determine if the announcement should be sent out quicklier than otherwise 2010-02-23 18:32:44 +00:00
adamdunkels b746b7fc06 Reworked the Rime/Chameleon interface so that packets now always hit Rime before Chameleon. Chameleon is now only called by Rime. This makes packet sniffing easier, and allows for sniffing packets after their header has been processed by Chameleon, thereby making per-packet power profiling much easier to implement 2010-02-23 18:29:53 +00:00
adamdunkels f49ebfe1c4 Temporarily disabled rime route udp because it breaks with newest MAC interfaces 2010-02-18 21:53:08 +00:00
adamdunkels e34eb54960 A work-in-progress rework of the Contiki MAC and radio layers. The
main ideas are:

* Separates the Contiki low-layer network stack into four layers:
  network (e.g. sicslowpan / rime), Medium Access Control MAC
  (e.g. CSMA), Radio Duty Cycling RDC (e.g. ContikiMAC, X-MAC), and
  radio (e.g. cc2420).
* Introduces a new way to configure the network stack. Four #defines
  that specify what mechanism/protocol/driver to use at the four
  layers: NETSTACK_CONF_NETWORK, NETSTACK_CONF_MAC, NETSTACK_CONF_RDC,
  NETSTACK_CONF_RADIO.
* Adds a callback mechanism to inform the MAC and network layers about
  the fate of a transmitted packet: if the packet was not possible to
  transmit, the cause of the failure is reported, and if the packets
  was successfully transmitted, the number of tries before it was
  finally transmitted is reported.
* NULL-protocols at both the MAC and RDC layers: nullmac and nullrdc,
  which can be used when MAC and RDC functionality is not needed.
* Extends the radio API with three new functions that enable more
  efficient radio duty cycling protocols: channel check, pending
  packet, and receiving packet.
* New initialization mechanism, which takes advantage of the NETSTACK
  #defines.

fros4943 9b20f11cd8 chameleon returns 1 only on successful rime_output() 2009-11-13 09:14:52 +00:00
fros4943 583dd11c55 rime_output() now returns RIME_OK or RIME_ERR depending on the MAC return value.
this patch may affect Rime sniffers running on top of MAC protocols that do not yet return generic MAC return values

adamdunkels 60a3fc0cae Fixed alignment issue 2009-11-09 08:22:40 +00:00
adamdunkels 56218aba3b Made rimeaddr_t pointers const where they should be. 2009-11-08 19:40:16 +00:00
adamdunkels 5aab2eb77d A simple addition with significant performance implications:
sicslowpan tags TCP packets with the PACKETBUF_ATTR_PACKET_TYPE_STREAM
flag, which makes the underlying power-saving MAC layer keep the radio
on for some time after transmitting the packet. This allows reply
packets to be processed directly, significantly increasing TCP latency
and throughput.
