Washington University's Wireless Sensor Network group has released a version of the MAC Layer Architecture (MLA) for TinyOS 2.0.2. MLA defines a component-based architecture for MAC protocols in wireless sensor networks. MLA consists of hardware-independent interfaces required by timing sensitive MAC protocols, and platform-independent reusable components that implement MAC layer logic on top of them. The MLA architecture can be used to develop a large number of platform-independent MAC implementations, with little or no further effort required to adapt these implementations to new hardware platforms.
|
| This is the first public release of MLA which is compatible with an up-to-date version of TinyOS (the previous release only worked with TinyOS 2.0.1). MLA currently supports hardware platforms which use the CC2420 radio stack and has been primarily tested on the TelosB platform, with some secondary testing on the MicaZ platform.
