Re: [Tinyos-help] Broadcast packet not received by all motes
Nice idea, but I tried switching the motes and nothing changes. I kept the source code for the listening mote extremely simple, I think the problem lies with one of the sending motes. > Just an idea: maybe the third mote has some low-power radio > implementation (low-power listening, LPL) enabled and the sending > motes somehow do not take this into account (i.e., they do not send a > long-enough preamble). > > Cheers, > Urs > > > On 10/29/10 3:28 PM, Simon Eberz wrote: >> According to the TinyOS wiki the CC2420 radio stack, which is used by >> the MICAz motes, performs a CCA by default, this should not be the >> problem. >> Furthermore, not a single one out of the ~300 packets was received by >> the third mote, but all were received by the second one.

Re: [Tinyos-help] Broadcast packet not received by all motes
Just an idea: maybe the third mote has some low-power radio implementation (low-power listening, LPL) enabled and the sending motes somehow do not take this into account (i.e., they do not send a long-enough preamble).

[Tinyos-help] Broadcast packet not received by all motes
According to the TinyOS wiki the CC2420 radio stack, which is used by the MICAz motes, performs a CCA by default, this should not be the problem. Furthermore, not a single one out of the ~300 packets was received by the third mote, but all were received by the second one. I don't think the problem is interference or something similiar. ___ Tinyos-help mailing list Tinyos-help@millennium.berkeley.edu https://www.millennium.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tinyos-help

use CCA enable before sending something out.

Re: [Tinyos-help] Broadcast packet not received by all motes
This should not be the case, as packets are only sent as a respone and after a short waiting period (20ms). Thus, the two motes can never send at the same time. > Unless you have some randomisation before you transmit packets, sounds like > your packets are interfering with each other.

Re: [Tinyos-help] Broadcast packet not received by all motes
Unless you have some randomisation before you transmit packets, sounds like your packets are interfering with each other.

[Tinyos-help] Broadcast packet not received by all motes
Hi, I'm implementing a simple message exchange between two motes (to measure the RSSI, but this is not of interest) and send the messages as broadcasts. I'm using the TinyOS Basestation application with the Listen-Tool to check which messages have been sent. Here's the problem: I have two motes (call them A and B) with nearly identical code flashed to them. A sends a message (broadcast), and after that each mote will send a new broadcast after receiving a packet. All messages sent by A are also received, and thus displayed, by the BaseStation-mote, and the LEDs indicate that all messages are also received by B [otherwise only one message would be sent anyway]. But, when B sends a message, it seems to be received by A [as A responds with yet another packet], but is not displayed by the BaseStation-App. I tried to verify this by flashing a third mote with custom code, same issue. If I just call the SendProbe-method [see below] on mote B it works fine and switching motes doesn't help either. LEDs suggest that the SendDone-Event is triggered on both motes. Ultimately, it seems that the broadcasts are only received by the mote from which the last message was received (?). Is there any property of broadcasts that I am not aware of? Here is the (relevant) code I use: void SendProbe(){ probe = (ProbeMsg*)(call Packet.getPayload(&pkt,NULL)); probe->source = 1; probe->counter = counter; call AMSend.send(AM_BROADCAST_ADDR, &pkt, sizeof(ProbeMsg)); } event message_t * Receive.receive(message_t *msg, void *payload, uint8_t len){ if(len==sizeof(ProbeMsg)){ probe = (ProbeMsg*)payload; call Timer.startOneShot(DELAY_BETWEEN_PROBES); } return msg; } event void Timer.fired(){ SendProbe(); } Thanks for your help ___ Tinyos-help mailing list Tinyos-help@millennium.berkeley.edu https://www.millennium.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tinyos-help
