7742b05d8c Major bugfix: when nullrdc is asked to send a list of packets, send the list of packets and not just the first packet - this is essential for retransmissions of fragmented IP packets to work 2013-03-18 13:35:29 +01:00

5993595a8f A number of updates to nullrdc
* add a few rimestats to keep track of sent and received acks
* made a number of configuration options possible to override (ack timing)
* added the logic for sending 802.15.4 link layer ack packets, despite not being able to guarentee the 802.15.4 MAC timing
* increased the number of sequence numbers to keep track of for duplicate filtering

c0a693672c core/net: Added support for "bridge mode".
"Bridge mode" allows devices to more easily send 802.15.4 packets as if
they were a different device. It also turns off any packet filtering
that may be implemented at layer 2. It works by allowing
`PACKETBUF_ADDR_SENDER` to be set earlier in the stack.

This is useful for implementing 6LoWPAN-ethernet bridges.

Enabled via setting `NETSTACK_CONF_BRIDGE_MODE` to 1. Disabled by
default.

cb7842bd16 Added support for encryption and decryption of the packetbuf if macros
NETSTACK_ENCRYPT and NETSTACK_DECRYPT are defined. Those are intended
to be called as functions NETSTACK_ENCRYPT() and NETSTACK_DECRYPT() to
encrypt and decrypt the packetbuf, respectively. If needed, an
initialization function by the name NETSTACK_ENCRYPTION_INIT() can
also be defined.

ec8c7e9be0 Cleanup of the node-id.h files. The node-id.h file contains
declarations of functions for setting and getting a node ID number, a
functionality that exists on many platforms. Since this functionality
was not considered part of the Contiki core, each platform defined its
own node-id.h file. This commit attempts to clean this up by
collecting the node-id.h into a core/sys/node-id.h file that replaces
the old node-id.h files from the platform directories.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

There were btw other even longer lines with expansions of the same macro already present.

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.
