Hello All, First a quick question - I found this list on the IETF site. I assume it's a public list, you don't have to be a member of the working group to submit?
Anyway, a few of us are working on doing a 6lowpan implementation. I was looking at doing a 'syncronized wake' to help save power yet get reasonable response times. By my calculations you could wake every few seconds and still have an exceptional battery life (year+). Since some nodes might need to wake up more often than others they might have different schedules, and obviously you'd need some sort of beacon to syncronize. The idea is each node has a "wake schedule" that nearby nodes know, and will be listening at that time. But any node can TX at almost any time. I don't want to do GTS though, as nodes can talk at any time. But I need a way to (a) sync nodes and (b) transmit wake schedule. So the question: would their be a standards-compliant way to do this? Or is it worth it trying to be standards compliant at this stage? It would be easy enough to make some simple protocol up to do this for testing. Warm Regards, -Colin O'Flynn PS: If you are interested: hardware is 8-bit AVR devices, using uIP for IPv6 implementation. The gateway router is AVR32 device, which can route over ethernet. _______________________________________________ 6lowpan mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/6lowpan
