Problem in Acknowledgement in MAC

soumya — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 14:43:16 GMT

Hi all,
when exploring mac codebase, i saw that acknowledgement received after sending a message is the ack sent by its own mac which means that the message is sent successfully. but what to do if i want an ack from the receiving device which means that the receiver has received the message?

Hello Soumya,

For the receiving end ack , you could write some function like echo back . For e.g when a receiving device has gMcpDataInd_c , it could generate a message to transmitting device.

If msg received

then generate a message back to transmitting device.

else

wait for messag

hello amzig,
thnx for ur suggestion. actually i did that. but i m searching for some other kind of solution. i mean if the mac of the receiving device can do this? my data indication part already consists some process on the incoming data. now sending an ack sometimes creating a overhead.
