Detailed Description

This module defines a common layer for handling the lower part of the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC layer.

Warning
This feature is experimental!
This API is experimental and in an early state - expect changes!

This layer is responsible for:

The SubMAC defines the following state machine:

+--------+ +--------+ +--------+
| |------->| | | |
| RX | |PREPARE |<--->| TX |
| | +--->| | | |
+--------+ | +--------+ +--------+
^ | ^ |
| | | |
| | | |
| | +--------+ |
| | | | v
| | |WAIT FOR|<--------+
| | | ACK | |
| | +--------+ |
| | | |
| | | |
| | v |
| | +--------+ |
| +-----| | |
| | IDLE | |
+------------->| |<-------+
+--------+

The events that trigger state machine changes are defined in ieee802154_fsm_state_t

The following events are valid for each state:

Event/State RX IDLE PREPARE TX WAIT FOR ACK
TX_DONE - - - X -
RX_DONE X X* X* X* X
CRC_ERROR X X* X* X* X
ACK_TIMEOUT - - - - X
BH - - X - -
REQ_TX X X - - -
REQ_SET_RX_ON - X - - -
REQ_SET_IDLE X - - - -

*: RX_DONE and CRC_ERROR during these events might be a race condition between the ACK Timer and the radios RX_DONE event. If this happens, the SubMAC will react accordingly

Unexpected events will be reported and asserted.

The upper layer needs to implement the following callbacks:
