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.

/*
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.

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.

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.

Improved phase lock behaviour when neighbor is not duty cycling: senders notify receivers via the 802.15.4 pending bit that they are not duty cycling. Neighbors then will start sending packets immediately and not wait for neighbors' phase. Tweaking of ContikiMAC timers to make it more reliable.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Improved phase lock behaviour when neighbor is not duty cycling: senders notify receivers via the 802.15.4 pending bit that they are not duty cycling. Neighbors then will start sending packets immediately and not wait for neighbors' phase. Tweaking of ContikiMAC timers to make it more reliable.

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.

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.

Fiddled more with the timing: the phase seems stable now at least. Still bugs left though...

Improved detection of link-layer ACKs; increased the time ContikiMAC waits when it has detected a link-layer ACK; increased the number of silence periods required to detect a CCA false positive
