46348d9013 Added the low-power streaming mode where frequent channel checks are performed when streaming is on. Enabling this will (by setting WITH_STREAMING to 1), however, significantly slow down Cooja/MSPsim simulations. 2011-02-08 21:57:46 +01:00

09c223f549 Updated Contiki X-MAC to use hardware acks, which allows for tighter timing and results in a lower duty cycle. Hardware acks also make X-MAC more robust against packet losses, as there is a direct way for the CSMA layer to detect loss of data packets. Before, Contiki X-MAC only detected loss of strobes. 2011-01-25 14:31:09 +00:00

d51e99a3dd Updated streaming mode to use only about 20% radio. Made guard time more conservative due to problem report by Ricklef Wohlers. 2011-01-25 14:29:46 +00:00

4a89cc9db3 Rework of the new CSMA in-order code that fixes a number of smalllish bugs in the in-order code. 2010-12-16 22:44:02 +00:00

79f2c25dae Rework of the phase-lock optimization mechanism. There were several bugs in the existing code, such as the phase-lock would lose synchronization when a packet was lost. 2010-12-16 22:43:07 +00:00
adamdunkels
952dfc9384 Rework of the CSMA layer: instead of using one timer per packet, the module now uses one central timer and a queue of outgoing packets. This helps to keep packets in order, which is extremely useful for TCP transfers, and reduces the amount of congestion since consecutive packets now are spaced in time if there is a collision. Based on the observations and ideas of Simon Duquennoy. 2010-12-14 07:57:14 +00:00

3bd78893e5 Renamed nullrdc to nullrdc-noframer and nullrdc-framer to nullrdc. 
nullrdc (previously nullrdc-framer) is now a RDC implementation that
does not do any radio duty cycling but supports link layer addresses
and frame format via framer (for example 802.15.4). nullrdc can now be
used in the same way as contikimac, xmac, etc.

nullrdc-noframer (previously nullrdc) is a null RDC implementation
that does not do any radio duty cycling, does not add any header of its
own to the packets, and does not support link layer addresses.

ae88ed04f1 Moved the definition of the channel check rate used by the radio duty 
cycling layer. This definition was previously held in net/mac/mac.h,
with the name MAC_CONF_CHANNEL_CHECK_RATE. But since the rate is used
by the radio duty cycling layer, it makes more sense to change its
name to reflect this. Also, the configuration option should be tied to
the netstack configuration instead.

So the new configuration option is called
NETSTACK_CONF_RDC_CHANNEL_CHECK_RATE.

eb58968459 Added a timer to each phase structure that keeps track of for how long 
a particular receiver has not ACKed packets. After some time
(currently 16 seconds), the sender will begin sending full strobe
periods again.

121ca946e1 Improved phase lock behaviour when neighbor is not duty cycling: senders notify receivers via the 802.15.4 pending bit that they are not duty cycling.

b1feac5a00 Bugfixes in low-power streaming mode, and re-added support for announcements. These now use the low-power streaming mode so that active listening for announcments have a radio duty cycle of 16% rather than 100% 2010-03-16 18:11:13 +00:00
adamdunkels
7bab9316da Two major changes: 
* Low-power streaming. Experimental support for a low-power mode which
  allows rapid exchange of packets with a 16% duty cycle. Does not
  seem to function correctly yet though.

* Phase locking. When the phase of a neighbor has been detected, the
  sender assumes that the neighbor will keeps it phase and does not
  send more strobes than necessary to hit the receiver's channel
  check - even if the receiver does not acknowledge the reception of
  the strobes when it should have been awake. Instead, the sender
  stops strobing and tries again at a later time.

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.

f8c804e28b ntikiMAC: a new radio duty cycling mechanism that uses a combination 
of link-layer and MAC-layer mechanisms to achieve a very low power
consumption: during idle listening the radio is switched off between
99.2% and 99.6% of the time. One unicast transmission typically adds
between 0.07% and 1.2% additional radio time, depending on packet
size.

ContikiMAC uses the standard IEEE 802.15.4 message format and adds no
additional headers.

ContikiMAC is simple: it uses periodic two-shot channel sampling
during idle listening to keep the radio on-time down. Transmissions
are done with repeated transmissions until a link-layer ACK is
received.

1a13d25d33 Revised version of the X-MAC implementation that uses a ctimer instead 
of an rtimer for the periodic radio duty cycling. The benefit of this
implementation is that it leaves an rtimer free for user tasks. The
drawback is a slightly higher idle power consumption. This new version
is based on the current rtimer-based X-MAC.

822149f943 Significant improvements to the Contiki X-MAC: 
* the code is simplified, particularly the duty cycling logic
* old unused code has been removed
* Contiki X-MAC now listens before sending a strobe to avoid MAC-level
  collisions
* broadcasts are sent directly, without strobes, reducing the power
  consumption of receivers
* turn off radio for 1 ms between sending a strobe and expecting the
  strobe ack

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.
