Polling access method Implementation for BaselineMAC

[Wan H4]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to enable polling access for specific nodes and have made modifications to the omnetpp.ini file. Specifically, I want to activate polling only for node 3. Here is the configuration snippet I have added:

[Config pollingON]
SN.node[3].Communication.MAC.pollingEnabled = true

However, the Castalia trace results do not indicate that polling is being activated for the specified nodes. To give polling accses to specific nodes, what can I change to the code/file?

Hi,

Not being an expert on BaselineMAC, but I've noticed in the code that you also have to set the naivePollingScheme parameter to true for the designated node, otherwise the corresponding timer (SEND_FUTURE_POLLS) is not scheduled.

Thank you for your idea. 

I tried to run the BaselineBANMac based on this configuration in the omnetpp.ini file. Unfortunately, the designated node (which is node 3 in this case) is not being polled. No polling access is present in the simulation. Do you have any idea why this is happening?

[Config BaselineMAC]
SN.node[*].Communication.MACProtocolName = "BaselineBANMac"
SN.node[*].Communication.MAC.phyDataRate = 1024 
SN.node[0].Communication.MAC.isHub = true
SN.node[*].Communication.MAC.macBufferSize = 48
SN.node[*].Communication.MAC.RAP1Length = 2
SN.node[1].Communication.MAC.scheduledAccessLength = 1
SN.node[5].Communication.MAC.scheduledAccessLength = 1
SN.node[4].Communication.MAC.scheduledAccessLength = 1
SN.node[2].Communication.MAC.scheduledAccessLength = 1
SN.node[3].Communication.MAC.scheduledAccessLength = 1

SN.node[3].Communication.MAC.pollingEnabled = true

SN.node[3].Communication.MAC.naivePollingScheme = true
