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.

nifi 21828ad782 Changed the retransmission time to be based on the configured MAC channel check rate when the RDC has no channel check interval. 2010-06-16 10:08:30 +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
adamdunkels 8f8393aadc Moved ctimer.[ch] from their old and illogical location in core/net/rime to a more appropriate place in core/sys 2010-06-14 07:34:36 +00:00
adamdunkels 91ff8574ad Improved handling of duplicate packets 2010-04-08 09:32:56 +00:00
nifi 9508d2c4d7 * Added configurable default number of transmissions for CSMA to use when not specified using packetbuf attributes (CSMA_CONF_MAX_MAC_TRANSMISSIONS).
* 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.

adamdunkels 17f6b3a324 Simplified the structure of the code 2010-03-09 20:38:55 +00:00
adamdunkels edda6dd86c Minor bugfix: don't subtract collisions and deferrals from the number of transmissions 2010-03-09 13:23:58 +00:00
adamdunkels 2c3d3e3d73 Bugfix: handle deferred transmissions correctly (don't count them) 2010-03-09 13:20:08 +00:00
nvt-se 96eb20d235 forward arguments even if REXMIT is not set 2010-03-04 14:17:43 +00:00
adamdunkels 74da90a06b Don't count collisions as transmissions 2010-02-28 10:07:17 +00:00
adamdunkels b6b4941871 Made the number of MAC-layer retransmissions configurable on a per-packet basis, via a packet attribute 2010-02-28 08:35:16 +00:00
nifi 1cfcc8a73a Removed the combined name of CSMA and NETSTACK_RDC. The name of NETSTACK_RDC can be accessed separately if needed. 2010-02-23 20:42:45 +00:00
adamdunkels 0ab2ba433f Bugfix: the wrong callback pointer was passed to higher layers. 2010-02-23 18:49:45 +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 e419eb3cc5 Retransmit packet if it didn't receive a MAC layer ack 2010-02-03 01:17:54 +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 e4168db633 Bugfix: deallocate queuebuf only if there was no collision 2010-01-31 13:55:36 +00:00
adamdunkels 8430dab039 Typecast to fix nightly build problem 2010-01-27 07:36:31 +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.
