|
|
* The Rime communication stack provides a set of lightweight
|
|
|
|
|
|
* communication primitives ranging from best-effort anonymous local area
|
|
|
|
|
|
* broadcast to reliable network flooding.

|
|
|
|
* The protocols in the Rime stack are arranged in a layered fashion,
|
|
|
|
|
|
* where the more complex protocols are implemented using the less
|
|
|
|
|
|
* complex protocols.
|
|
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
|
|
* We have chosen the communication primitives in the Rime stack based
|
|
|
|
|
|
* on what typical sensor network protocols use. Applications or
|
|
|
|
|
|
* protocols running on top of the Rime stack attach at any layer of
|
|
|
|
|
|
* the stack and use any of the communication primitives.
|
|
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The Rime stack supports both single-hop and multi-hop communication
|
|
|
|
|
|
* primitives. The multi-hop primitives do not specify how packets are
|
|
|
|
|
|
* routed through the network. Instead, as the packet is sent across
|
|
|
|
|
|
* the network, the application or upper layer protocol is invoked at
|
|
|
|
|
|
* every node to choose the next-hop neighbor. This makes it possible
|
|
|
|
|
|
* to implement arbitrary routing protocols on top of the multi-hop
|
|
|
|
|
|
* primitives.
|
|
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Protocols or applications running on top of the Rime stack can
|
|
|
|
|
|
* implement additional protocols that are not in the Rime stack. If a
|
|
|
|
|
|
* protocol or application running on top of the Rime stack would need
|
|
|
|
|
|
* a communication primitive that is not currently in the Rime stack,
|
|
|
|
|
|
* the application or protocol can implement it directly on top of
|
|
|
|
|
|
* other communication primitive in the stack.
