akashvibhute | 3:dfc8da7ac18c | 872 | * |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 873 | * New: Enhance the current functionality for maximum efficiency, reliability, and speed |
akashvibhute | 0:c3db0798d9aa | 874 | * |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 875 | * Xbees are excellent little radios, backed up by a mature and robust standard |
akashvibhute | 0:c3db0798d9aa | 876 | * protocol stack. They are also expensive. |
akashvibhute | 0:c3db0798d9aa | 877 | * |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 878 | * For many Arduino uses, they seem like overkill. So I am working to improve the current |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 879 | * standard for nRF24L01 radios. The best RF24 modules are available for less than |
akashvibhute | 0:c3db0798d9aa | 880 | * $6 from many sources. With the RF24Network layer, I hope to cover many |
akashvibhute | 0:c3db0798d9aa | 881 | * common communication scenarios. |
akashvibhute | 0:c3db0798d9aa | 882 | * |

akashvibhute | 0:c3db0798d9aa | 938 | * describes the position of the node within the tree. The address is an octal number. Each |
akashvibhute | 0:c3db0798d9aa | 939 | * digit in the address represents a position in the tree further from the base. |

akashvibhute | 0:c3db0798d9aa | 958 | * When sending a message using RF24Network::write(), you fill in the header with the logical |
akashvibhute | 0:c3db0798d9aa | 959 | * node address. The network layer figures out the right path to find that node, and sends |
akashvibhute | 0:c3db0798d9aa | 960 | * it through the system until it gets to the right place. This works even if the two nodes |
akashvibhute | 0:c3db0798d9aa | 961 | * are far separated, as it will send the message down to the base node, and then back out |

akashvibhute | 3:dfc8da7ac18c | 992 | * array of addresses to be utilized. In addition, the radios are limited to direct communication with 6 other nodes while using the |

akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 994 | * |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 995 | * RF24Network uses a simple method of data compression to store the addresses using only 2 bytes, in a format designed to represent the |

akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1001 | * Say we want to designate a logical address to a node, using a tree topology as defined by the manufacturer. |
akashvibhute | 3:dfc8da7ac18c | 1002 | * In the simplest format, we could assign the first node the address of 1, the second 2 and so on. |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1003 | * Since a single node can only connect to 6 other nodes (1 parent and 5 children) subnets need to be created if using more than 6 nodes.<br> |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1004 | * In this case the children of node 1 could simply be designated as 11,21,31,41, and 51<br> |
akashvibhute | 3:dfc8da7ac18c | 1005 | * Children of node 2 could be designated as 12,22,32,42, and 52 |

akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1074 | * Radios in this network are linked by <b>addresses</b> assigned to <b>pipes</b>. Each radio can listen |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1075 | * to 6 addresses on 6 pipes, therefore each radio has a parent pipe and 5 child pipes, which are used |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1076 | * to form a tree structure. Nodes communicate directly with their parent and children nodes. Any other |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1077 | * traffic to or from a node must be routed through the network. |

akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1081 | * Anybody who is familiar at all with IP networking should be able to easily understand RF24Network topology. The |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1082 | * master node can be seen as the gateway, with up to 4 directly connected nodes. Each of those nodes creates a |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1083 | * subnet below it, with up to 4 additional child nodes. The numbering scheme can also be related to IP addresses, |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1084 | * for purposes of understanding the topology via subnetting. Nodes can have 5 children if multicast is disabled. |

akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1087 | * |
akashvibhute | 3:dfc8da7ac18c | 1088 | * As an example, we could designate the master node in theory, as Address 10.10.10.10 <br> |
akashvibhute | 3:dfc8da7ac18c | 1089 | * The children nodes of the master would be 10.10.10.1, 10.10.10.2, 10.10.10.3, 10.10.10.4 and 10.10.10.5 <br> |
akashvibhute | 3:dfc8da7ac18c | 1090 | * The children nodes of 10.10.10.1 would be 10.10.1.1, 10.10.2.1, 10.10.3.1, 10.10.4.1 and 10.10.5.1 <br> |

akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1097 | * |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1098 | * Routing of traffic is handled invisibly to the user, by the network layer. If the network addresses are |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1099 | * assigned in accordance with the physical layout of the network, nodes will route traffic automatically |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1100 | * as required. Users simply constuct a header containing the appropriate destination address, and the network |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1101 | * will forward it through to the correct node. Individual nodes only route individual fragments, so if using |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1102 | * fragmentation, routing nodes do not need it enabled, unless sending or receiving fragmented payloads themselves. |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1103 | * |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1104 | * If routing data between parent and child nodes (marked by direct links on the topology image above) the network |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1105 | * uses built-in acknowledgement and retry functions of the chip to prevent data loss. When payloads are sent to |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1106 | * other nodes, they need to be routed. Routing is managed using a combination of built in ACK requests, and |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1107 | * software driven network ACKs. This allows all routing nodes to forward data very quickly, with only the final |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1108 | * routing node confirming delivery and sending back an |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1109 | * acknowledgement. |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1110 | * |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1111 | * Example: Node 00 sends to node 01. The nodes will use the built in auto-retry and auto-ack functions.<br> |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1112 | * Example: Node 00 sends to node 011. Node 00 will send to node 01 as before. Node 01 will forward the message to |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1113 | * 011. If delivery was successful, node 01 will also forward a message back to node 00, indicating success. |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1114 | * |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1115 | * Old Functionality: Node 00 sends to node 011 using auto-ack. Node 00 first sends to 01, 01 acknowledges. |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1116 | * Node 01 forwards the payload to 011 using auto-ack. If the payload fails between 01 and 011, node 00 has |
akashvibhute | 3:dfc8da7ac18c | 1117 | * no way of knowing. |
akashvibhute | 3:dfc8da7ac18c | 1118 | * |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1119 | * @note When retrying failed payloads that have been routed, there is a chance of duplicate payloads if the network-ack |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1120 | * is not successful. In this case, it is left up to the user to manage retries and filtering of duplicate payloads. |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1121 | * |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1122 | * Acknowledgements can and should be managed by the application or user. If requesting a response from another node, |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1123 | * an acknowledgement is not required, so a user defined type of 0-64 should be used, to prevent the network from |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1124 | * responding with an acknowledgement. If not requesting a response, and wanting to know if the payload was successful |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1125 | * or not, users can utilize header types 65-127. |

akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1128 | * The RF24 radio modules are generally only capable of either sending or receiving data at any given |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1129 | * time, but have built-in auto-retry mechanisms to prevent the loss of data. These values are adjusted |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1130 | * automatically by the library on startup, but can be further adjusted to reduce data loss, and |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1131 | * thus increase throughput of the network. This page is intended to provide a general overview of its |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1132 | * operation within the context of the network library, and provide guidance for adjusting these values. |

akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1135 | * |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1136 | * The core radio library provides the functionality of adjusting the internal auto-retry interval of the |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1137 | * radio modules. In the network configuration, the radios can be set to automatically retry failed |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1138 | * transmissions at intervals ranging anywhere from 500us (.5ms) up to 4000us (4ms). When operating any |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1139 | * number of radios larger than two, it is important to stagger the assigned intervals, to prevent the |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1140 | * radios from interfering with each other at the radio frequency (RF) layer. |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1141 | * |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1142 | * The library should provide fairly good working values, as it simply staggers the assigned values within |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1143 | * groups of radios in direct communication. This value can be set manually by calling radio.setRetries(X,15); |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1144 | * and adjusting the value of X from 1 to 15 (steps of 250us). |

akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1147 | * |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1148 | * The core radio library also provides the ability to adjust the internal auto-retry count of the radio |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1149 | * modules. The default setting is 15 automatic retries per payload, and can be extended by configuring |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1150 | * the network.txTimeout variable. This default retry count should generally be left at 15, as per the |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1151 | * example in the above section. An interval/retry setting of (15,15) will provide 15 retrys at intervals of |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1152 | * 4ms, taking up to 60ms per payload. The library now provides staggered timeout periods by default, but |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1153 | * they can also be adjusted on a per-node basis. |
akashvibhute | 0:c3db0798d9aa | 1154 | * |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1155 | * The txTimeout variable is used to extend the retry count to a defined duration in milliseconds. See the |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1156 | * network.txTimeout variable. Timeout periods of extended duration (500+) will generally not help when payloads |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1157 | * are failing due to data collisions, it will only extend the duration of the errors. Extended duration timeouts |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1158 | * should generally only be configured on leaf nodes that do not receive data, or on a dual-headed node. |
