dd8576830e Added bursts support in CSMA/ContikiMAC, and CFS-swapping in
queuebuf. Exemplified in examples/udp-stream.

e8a96dc202 Bug fix: update packet attributes in queued packets in CSMA instead of doing a full packetbuf copy after transmissions. The lower layers often add their own headers to packetbuf. 2011-06-15 16:10:07 +02:00

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

8fa7bf6c31 Always restore the queuebuf to the packetbuf before calling the upper layers. Reduce the waiting time between successive MAC layer retransmissions. 2010-10-24 21:07:00 +00:00

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.

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

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.

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.
