Apologies if this has been addressed previously: Currently I am running a simple application to measure the throughput of the default Telos-A MAC. I have one mote send messages as fast as it can (i.e. it sends a new message as soon as SendDone is signalled) and another mote keeps a running count of all of the messages that it hears. In addition, each message has a sequence number so the listener can tell if a message was missed. When I run this experiment, I consistantly see that (roughly) only 85% of the sent messages are received by the listener. If I change the sender to send a little more slowly, the reception rate quickly goes up to 100%, so its definitely the speed-of-sending that is causing the ~15% loss rate.
Is this known behavior? What causes it? Does the listener take longer to "reset" it radio somehow, as compared to the sender? Thank you very much, Ian Rose _______________________________________________ Tinyos-help mailing list [email protected] https://mail.millennium.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tinyos-help
