Philip, thanks for help. I was reading one paper from David Culler regarding the immediate ACK in TinyOS. Just curious, was it actually a packet, or through certain correlated signals or something? From your email, it seems
like a packet is actually sent out. Correct me if I understand wrong.

Depends on which platform.

On the mica, it was not a packet, just a bit sequence. That is, it did not have any header fields. (MicaHighSpeedRadioM.nc:272 for ack tx, MicaHighSpeedRadioM.nc:366 for ack rx).

On the mica2 and mica2 dot, this was the case as well (CC1000RadioIntM.nc:150).

On the micaZ/telos families (CC2420 radios), the acks are part of the 802.15.4 specification, and are proper packets.

Phil
