I noticed now that when i turn the destination node off and on for two or three
times then packet sending starts to behave as expected. The buffered packets
and the unbuffered ones are then acknowledged by the destination node. Even if
I turn the destination node off and on again after sending once became "normal"
the sending node does not fall back into complaining about unacknowledged
packets again. But sometimes when the destination node is turned on again the
sender reports two acknowledgements for every sent packet until I turn the
destination node off once more.
I am wondering if this could be some kind of timing problem. Is it possible
that if a node sends every other packet with requested acks to a specific node
and the other half without acks as broadcast they get somehow mixed up when
executing the sendDone event? At the moment my sendDone routine looks like this:
event void AMSend.sendDone(message_t* msg, error_t err) {
isRadioBusy=FALSE;
// Signal that the radio can be used again
/*********************************************************************************
* If the packet was not broadcasted we expect an acknowledgement
*
********************************************************************************/
if(call AMPacket.destination(msg) != AM_BROADCAST_ADDR) {
/*****************************************************************************
* If we got no acknowledgement from the next hop node
*
****************************************************************************/
if(call PacketAcknowledgements.wasAcked(msg) == FALSE) {
//---DEBUG---
printf("\tNo Ack from node %d...\n", call
AMPacket.destination(msg)); // Link to destination broken...update Routing
information
printfflush();
//---DEBUG---
/*************************************************************************
* We cannot reach the node so update the route cache
*
************************************************************************/
call dsrRouteCache.notifyLostConnectivity(call
AMPacket.destination(msg));// Tell the cache about the broken link
/*************************************************************************
* Send a Route Error Message to the originator of the packet
*
************************************************************************/
sendRouteErrorMessage(msg);
}
//---DEBUG---
else {
printf("\tReceived an Ack from node %d\n", call
AMPacket.destination(msg));printfflush();
}
//---DEBUG---
}
signal dsrSend.sendDone(msg, err);
}
As I said before although the sent messages are not acknowledged in the
beginning they are all received by the destination node.
Any ideas or suggestions would be very welcome.
Thanks again, David
