Hi, Can anyone clarify what is the difference between S-MAC and 802.15.4?
S-MAC is Simple MAC? See the following text: "Freescale's Simple MAC (SMAC) provides a simple and cost effective solution for wireless networking. Based on the 802.15.4 PHY, it provides command to create simple point-to-point and star networks. The small codes size allows the use of a low cost MCU combined with the MC13201 RF transceiver, creating the ideal platform for applications looking to "cut the cord". In addition, features such as repeaters and over-the-air updates help create a feature rich protocol in a small package." In my application I need to use mesh network and a energy model with sleep and wake functions. Does NS2 s-mac fit to my application? Have anyone some reference text? Thanks in advance. Caio
