181213124b Added a configuration option for setting the MAC channel check rate (which must be a power of two). The configuration is independent of the MAC protocol. 2010-02-02 23:28:58 +00:00

7ad93e5d18 Added a field to the struct mac interface:
channel_check_interval(). This function returns the interval by which
the duty cycling mechanism checks the radio channel for activity. It
is used by higher layer mechanisms to determine suitable timeouts for
retransmissions.

6897270289 Bugfix to the Contiki LPP encounter timing code: encounters are now
properly timed.

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.

ae226c5917 * Set sender and receiver packet attributes on incoming packets
* Added link layer destination check

2181e90f69 Added the possibility to switch lpp off. Fixed sdcc compiler issue 2009-09-09 21:09:23 +00:00

4d21a3e203 Don't assume that radio->send turns on the radio automatically. 2009-09-04 10:59:30 +00:00

fe5a1f1068 Added an optimization option that avoids multiple simultaneous broadcasts from neighbors: when a broadcast is to be sent, a sender does not send until it knows that no other nodes are broadcasting. 2009-05-10 21:09:05 +00:00

0adceb63b4 Code cleanup; made encounter optimization explicit; added optimization for adaptive off-time, but it currently seems to work bad with broadcasts 2009-05-06 15:06:38 +00:00

03cd533712 made LISTEN_TIME and OFF_TIME configurable. 2009-04-07 11:29:08 +00:00

5e456aea7d Added optimization for sending ACKs immediately. Turned optimizations on. Increased listening time to 1/64 s again due to problems with broadcasts with the 1/128 s setting 2009-04-06 22:50:35 +00:00

ed1e945e66 Added guard code so that OFF_TIME is never zero 2009-04-03 20:08:05 +00:00

8dbd2b2337 Significant power consumption optimization: LPP now keeps track of encounters with neighbors and uses this information to keep the radio switched off longer. 2009-04-03 19:59:22 +00:00

1d86b01bfb Made optimizations explicit (and configurable). Added missing initialization of dutycycle protothread. Reduced default listen time and off time. 2009-04-03 11:45:06 +00:00

04101aae36 Fixed alignment problem on the MSP430, where the LPP header may be misaligned 2009-03-31 17:39:54 +00:00

e2cc8b2a3e send all queued packet once we have the chance. 2009-03-31 14:44:13 +00:00

1d47e2a8da send immediate probes only if the packet is directed to us.
sleep for OFF_TIME if the queue is empty.

restrict double packet lifetime timeouts to unicast packets.

stop ctimer in remove_queued_packet in case the function is not called
via the ctimer callback. it could overwrite a valid packet otherwise.

dd082f7fcf improvements to lpp based on code from Adam and discussions with Thiemo.
* queue multiple packets
* send a strobe back immediately after receiving a data packet
* double the packet lifetime to allow for a missed probe

d8caaca289 listen time and off time parameters configurable from outside because cc1020 needs longer listen time. 2009-03-26 12:50:57 +00:00

65eb5fd4e8 Renamed the rimebuf module to packetbuf to signal that the module is used outside of a pure Rime context (e.g., the sicslowpan code uses it). 2009-03-12 21:58:20 +00:00

585620c102 Reverted the recent change from random_rand() to rand(). It turned out that
since libc rand() returns a signed int, there were frequently problems with
timer values wrapping. By reverting to random_rand(), we can provide a
random generator that returns an unsigned and the timer problems are solved.

a5fcfa2787 I seem to remember that we wanted to avoid ignoring gcc warnings that might trigger errors with other compilers ;-) 2008-05-16 21:31:57 +00:00
