Joakim Eriksson e0ae036a69 added static on the list send functions to get less compiler errors with IAR compiler 2011-10-03 15:17:30 +02:00
simonduq dd8576830e Added bursts support in CSMA/ContikiMAC, and CFS-swapping in
queuebuf. Exemplified in examples/udp-stream.

dak664 e54d7d6f9c Fix compiler warnings 2010-12-02 15:55:17 +00:00
adamdunkels 6d556d5c13 Fixed bug with link-layer ACKs. Refactored the ACK reception code. 2010-11-25 08:44:34 +00:00
adamdunkels 3ffcff0656 Added mechanisms for explicit de-synchronization of synchronized neighbors. Added link-layer ACKs. Fixed bugs with MAC-layer interaction. Now seems to work somewhat (didn't work at all before, in some cases), but there are still problems with packet loss. 2010-10-20 15:23:43 +00:00
adamdunkels 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.

adamdunkels 7647cbd8aa Use the list_item_next() API 2010-06-15 19:22:25 +00:00
adamdunkels 3fa8ffda1a Moved the modules packetbuf, queuebuf, and packetqueue from net/rime to net/, since they are not Rime-specific 2010-06-14 19:19:16 +00:00
nvt-se b8a3a4109e Adjusted the code so as to remove compilation warnings. 2010-04-30 22:18:12 +00:00
adamdunkels e606c674c2 Rewrote LPP so that it uses 802.15.4 headers. A number of bugfixes with respect to alignment. Avoid turning off the radio in the middle of packet reception. 2010-04-30 07:31:44 +00:00
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 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.

adamdunkels 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
adamdunkels 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.

adamdunkels 6897270289 Bugfix to the Contiki LPP encounter timing code: encounters are now
properly timed.
2009-12-06 13:18:32 +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.

nifi ae226c5917 * Set sender and receiver packet attributes on incoming packets
* Added link layer destination check
2009-10-19 11:25:54 +00:00
adamdunkels 2181e90f69 Added the possibility to switch lpp off. Fixed sdcc compiler issue 2009-09-09 21:09:23 +00:00
nvt-se 4d21a3e203 Don't assume that radio->send turns on the radio automatically. 2009-09-04 10:59:30 +00:00
nifi 912aba7280 added init function in MAC driver for easier configuration 2009-06-22 11:14:11 +00:00
adamdunkels 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
adamdunkels 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
nvt-se 03cd533712 made LISTEN_TIME and OFF_TIME configurable. 2009-04-07 11:29:08 +00:00
adamdunkels 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
adamdunkels ed1e945e66 Added guard code so that OFF_TIME is never zero 2009-04-03 20:08:05 +00:00
adamdunkels 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
adamdunkels 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
adamdunkels 04101aae36 Fixed alignment problem on the MSP430, where the LPP header may be misaligned 2009-03-31 17:39:54 +00:00
nvt-se e2cc8b2a3e send all queued packet once we have the chance. 2009-03-31 14:44:13 +00:00
nvt-se 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.
2009-03-31 14:11:25 +00:00
nvt-se 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
2009-03-31 12:47:00 +00:00
nvt-se d8caaca289 listen time and off time parameters configurable from outside because cc1020 needs longer listen time. 2009-03-26 12:50:57 +00:00
adamdunkels 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
adamdunkels e6907a1d8b Include random.h 2009-02-20 21:22:39 +00:00
adamdunkels 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.

adamdunkels dd9ffd87c4 Added missing #include announcement.h 2009-02-08 20:14:18 +00:00

adamdunkels c9528fb010 Added name, made default listen time shorter 2008-06-30 08:08:59 +00:00
oliverschmidt 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
adamdunkels 532692e5a0 Removed reference to non-existant function rimebuf_attr_isset() 2008-05-16 15:04:10 +00:00
adamdunkels 8ea461b039 Changed on time to work with the current default tick time on the sky platform 2008-05-15 08:59:48 +00:00
adamdunkels dbab9fbdb5 A quick, initial implementation of the LPP power-saving MAC protocol (Musaloiu-E et al, IPSN 2008) 2008-05-15 08:56:29 +00:00
