Hi,
For lr-wpan module, the MAC at present implements the unslotted CSMA/CA variant, without beaconing.But I need beaconing support in lr-wpan for my work. I see some "Beacon Frame" related code in the module. If I want to add beaconing support, can anybody specify about some starting pointers. Also Superframe structure is used in lr-wpan which needs beacon frames at start and end of the superframe. So I am little confused how without supporting beaconing superframes are used. May be some basic understanding I am missing. Any pointers will be really helpful. Thank you.
Regards,
Ashvini

Hi,
super frames are not used. Beacons are not used either, they are only defined for future implementations.
How to add beacons ? It's a hard work. Basically you'll need to define a whole new MAC. Suggestions: study the standard and the actual code. Get acquainted with ns-3 and take your time.
When you'll have a working beacon-enabled MAC, we'll be more than happy to review it for future ns-3 versions.
Have fun,
T.
