Dear Eric Decker.
Thank you very much for your kind explanation. I know that the collision detection is not required in CSMA/CA. Is there any way to detect the collision at transmitter? In case of slotted aloha in ISO 18000-7, do we need detect the collision only at receiver? Thank you very much. Sincerely Yours, Ick-Sung Choi. -----Original Message----- From: "Eric Decker"<[email protected]> To: "최익성"<[email protected]>; Cc: <[email protected]>; Sent: 2012-07-25 (수) 13:25:52 Subject: Re: [Tinyos-help] Collision detection at transmitter.

Its CSMA/CA not CSMA/CD so it is collision avoidance. In CSMA/CA, transmitter transmits the frame. If there is a collision, the transmitter tries to transmit the frame after random backoff time. How can the transmitter detects the collision? Typically this kind of thing is implemented in h/w. You don't specify what h/w you are using... (Yes, it would have been helpful if you told us the specifics of what h/w you are using). So I'm assuming the telosb with the cc2420 radio. the cc2420 hardware does Clear Channel Assessment and provides status bits that tell the driver what is happening. I believe if the channel is busy it is up to the driver to handle the back off. I would suggest you take a look at the cc2420 manual (pg 50) and look at the cc2420 driver where it deals with CCA and possibly the STXONCCA command strobe. Thank you very much.
