EAP and Beacon2 support in Castalia 3.3 ?

[Bill Ryan]

Hi, all,

  I am using the Castalia 3.3 compiled from github. I viewed the source code in folder `src/node/communication/mac/baselineBanMac`, but I can not find the support of EAP and Beacon2 within Beacon mode with beacon periods (superframes). In the 802.15.6 Standard, the EAP section is determined by RAP1 end and RAP1 start. Any support for EAP in Castalia? I noticed that the user priority is set to 1 by default, is there any convenient way to adjust it in the RadioLayer ? 

If I want to add some more information in beacon2(B2), how can I implement it in castalia?  

Best regards,

The implementation of Castalia is based on an old draft where there were no EAP or second beacon. So these are not implemented. EAP is a another version of RAP if I remember correctly, so it might not be too difficult to add.

That's not straightforward to answer. I would have to revisit the code to remember it and also understand what the new model proposes. I guess you'll have to do the same. :)
