Re: [Tinyos-help] why is s-mac not implemented for CC2420-based platforms in TOS2?

2008-05-13 Thread Erwing R. Sanchez

Hi Abhishek,
you're right! It seems that a great deal of the work has already been  
done. I'll try to stick a little bit more on my implementation,  
because I need it anyway, but it doesn't seem to have a brigth future...

Hi Erwing,

Thanks for your reply. I am not sure how long I ll stick around with  
this project but do have a look at the paper "A Component-Based  
Architecture for Power-Efficient Media
Access Control in Wireless Sensor Networks" by Kevin Klues∗ ,  
Gregory Hackmann, Octav Chipara, Chenyang Lu.


I think they have already done a lot of the work.

Hi Erwing,

Just wanted to know whats your progress in implementing S-MAC on the  
telosb platform. I m doing some similar work and thought you might  
be able to help.



Hi Abhishek,
I'm still working on it. At first I wanted to port the code from  
tos1 on top of platform-specific modules in tos2. That'd allow the  
code to be used with any platform; however I realized that'll be a  
lot of work so now I'm just focusing only on telosb and its cc2420  
stack. My idea is to re-use  the tinyos2 stack as much as possible,  
and that means, basically, that I'm trying to insert the s-mac layer  
into the ActiveMessage stack (speciffically on top of CsmaC). This  
is just my approach, and I think it makes sense but I will be  
willing to discuss with you any other ideas.

Erwing

I just wanted to be sure that, actually, the code doesn't exist  
already. Now, I'm willing to give it a try and implementing it myself.
I'll let you know how things go.

S-MAC might be feasible and useful but it simply has not been
implemented in TinyOS 2.x. Are you interested in contributing the code
or know someone who might be interested? If it is a robust and
promising piece of code, we can include it in TinyOS.
