Problem in Acknowledgement in MAC

[soumya]

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.
