Description
The goals of the TinyOS 15.4 Working Group are:
- to develop and maintain a platform-independent, standard-compliant implementation of the IEEE 802.15.4-2006 MAC,
- to make the implementation available on (appropriate) TinyOS 2 platforms and TOSSIM,
- to align the MAC interfaces with the next-higher layers in TinyOS 2 (AM, prospective ZigBee NWK, 6lowPAN),
- to provide mechanism to integrate enhancements / variants / add-ons to the MAC protocol (e.g. QoS, traffic differentiation mechanisms, frequency agility and coexistence)
A good starting point to learn about the code is looking at file tinyos-main/tos/lib/mac/tkn154/README.txt in the tinyos-main repository
