adamdunkels ed52586e18 Rework of parts of the ContikiMAC code based on input from experimental results. When channel check is triggered because of a false positive, the new version checks the radio several times to make sure that there really is an incoming packet. Otherwise, the radio is switched off. Cleaned up and removed old unused code. Added a few temporary debugging mechanisms and functions. 2010-02-23 18:49:05 +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.

adamdunkels 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.

adamdunkels f5c48751b5 Reworked 802.15.4 header creation and parsing so that it works regardless of the size of the rimeaddr_t typedef 2010-02-18 21:00:28 +00:00
adamdunkels 2fbf21b2b3 Refactored the phase optimization functionality into a separate module 2010-02-18 20:58:59 +00:00

adamdunkels 9bb149ca13 Bugfix by Raimondas Sasnauskas: TCP SYN duplicate receptions in the SYN_RCVD state was not correctly handled 2010-02-15 18:03:07 +00:00
adamdunkels d67d1f7340 Major bugfix, found by Raimondas Sasnauskas: the TCP periodic timer was not started when a new connection request arrived. If there were no other active TCP connections, this means that the SYNACK would never be retransmitted, potentially leading to a forever stale TCP connection. 2010-02-09 12:58:53 +00:00
adamdunkels 4a522c96dd Added debugging statements for packet drops 2010-02-08 21:59:49 +00:00

adamdunkels b98f7d891f Bugfix: added missing queuebuf allocation 2010-02-06 20:50:24 +00:00
adamdunkels 671216c558 No need to clear the headers now that we explicitly save a queuebuf when sending fragments 2010-02-06 17:07:43 +00:00
adamdunkels b6647b5630 Turns out that with cxmac, clearing the header after sending a packet is not enough to make fragmentation work. Instead, we allocate a queuebuf and restore the packet after from the queuebuf after sending it. 2010-02-06 09:42:49 +00:00
adamdunkels 494e692d0b Bugfix: clear the header after sending a packet solves a problem with fragmentation; also prod the watchdog since fragment transmissions can take a long time with some low-power MAC protocol 2010-02-06 07:49:58 +00:00
adamdunkels a68b4c40c4 Added a function to clear only the header part of the packetbuf 2010-02-06 07:48:52 +00:00

adamdunkels 4bc4f033e8 Increase the trickle resend interval for router advertisements 2010-02-03 01:13:17 +00:00
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 f66cd6d44e Increased the forwarding queue to six packets to improve collection robustness 2010-02-02 21:44:05 +00:00

adamdunkels fcf60e9260 Removed the csma_init declaration in the mac_driver struct since it isn't needed and it breaks sdcc 2010-02-02 20:45:58 +00:00
adamdunkels cc2be0f111 Remove compiler warnings 2010-02-02 16:33:07 +00:00
adamdunkels 88c661b0c2 Rewrote the netif time code so that is avoids the use of floating point numbers; some code style fixes 2010-02-02 16:32:03 +00:00
adamdunkels 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.

adamdunkels 423e37f426 Added parameter to ipolite that specifies how many dups that are acceptable, before suppressing one's own packet 2010-01-25 13:54:06 +00:00
adamdunkels 0b58ca3b22 Bugfix: split full size TCP segments if they match the MSS definition, not only the buffer size definition 2010-01-25 13:53:15 +00:00
adamdunkels 7615a6cf47 Bugfix by Henrik Mäkitaavola: check that ICMP6 process is defined before invoking it 2010-01-25 13:37:05 +00:00
adamdunkels 4f3e8d565c Added a simple CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access) mechanism that
works on top of an underlying duty cycling mechanism. The CSMA layer
retransmits packets that could not be sent because of a collision was
detected.
2010-01-25 11:46:44 +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 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
2009-12-06 13:16:59 +00:00

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
2009-11-13 09:10:24 +00:00
fros4943 26bb5ecd21 added radio and MAC generic return values to allow applications finding out whether the packet was transmitted 2009-11-13 08:59:22 +00:00

adamdunkels 70fc23ac7e Enable stream mode by default, remove LED debug mode 2009-11-04 16:02:45 +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.

adamdunkels c7a91ad4a2 Bugfix: UIP_TCP_BUF -> BUF 2009-10-27 23:09:58 +00:00
adamdunkels 631af06c7c Bugfix: Active TCP connections in uIP are made by first setting up the
TCP connection state, then poll uIP to send out the first SYN. Until
now, however, the SYN was not sent as part of the poll, but at the
first retransmission. This is now fixed.
