I am studying to use Tossim as the simulator for an energy efficient protocol. I initialize 5 motes in one second, and then after 1 second, let mote 1 send a message to mote 0. I check the radio state change when mote 1 begins sending: mote 1 is Tx, other motes are Rx; Then other motes become Tx, and mote 1 is Rx; Then other motes Tx twice again, mote 1 is Rx; and then again other motes Tx, mote 1 Rx; again others Tx, mote 1 Rx; and finally all motes become Rx, and motes receive the message. I am wondering why there is so many state changes during sending and receiving, does it have some relationship with MAC protocol? Is there any state machine in tinyos? And when a mote is Tx, dose it mean that it must send a message or it is just a state without sending?
Any help will be very appreciated. Yinying Yang _______________________________________________ Tinyos-help mailing list [email protected] https://mail.millennium.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tinyos-help
