[Tinyos-help] Turning the radio off asynchronously for power management

2008-03-13 Thread Eric Keller
I haven't tried low power listening, but trying to think things through,
it doesn't seem like it meets my needs.  I have a sensor field where
much of the time there will be radio activity in range of all of the
sensor nodes.
However, I am keeping track of the likelihood that the sensor node needs to
be active.

Am I correct in thinking that I can stop and start the radio
myself through the SplitControl interface?  Looking at TEP115 leaves
doubts. http://www.tinyos.net/tinyos-2.x/doc/html/tep115.html#id1

TEP 115 does not apply to the radio architecture unfortunately.  If
you are looking into implementing a new Mac protocol, you should check
out the UPMA mac layer architecture from Washington University in St.
Louis.

I was working on this project up until about a year ago at which time
we had everything in place to be compatible with the tinyos-2.0.1
release.  I'm not sure if its been updated to work against
tinyos-2.0.2 or the latest cvs, but its something worth looking into.
