problem of inter-hub communication in BaselineBAN mac

[Ray]

Hi,

I created a routing protocol running on BAN. The coordinator can
forward the packets which is sent from other coordinators to a certain
destination. It works pretty well on MAC802154. But it couldn't work
on BaselineBAN Mac. I checked the coding, seems it doesn't support
inter-Hub(inter coordinator) communication. Am I correct? or does
anyone know how to establish communication between two
Hub(coordinator) in BaselineBAN mac?

Thank you in advance
Ray

Yes you are correct. BaslineBANMac does not support interhub communication. 

This is because this kind of comm is not supported in the standard draft as well. The protocol (and the standards draft) is mainly concerned with what is happening within a single BAN. Other BANs are just seen as interference.

You could however change the code to support interhub comms. It's not trivial. You probably have to add several parameters to statically coordinate the 2 BANs (or do you have more?). Maybe the easiest way would be to make them use different frequencies.  Anyway it's not easy and you would have to think hard how to minimally change the protocol.

Thanks for your advice, Athanassios. I will think about it.
