Routing on SimpliciTI

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SIMPLICITI, CC2530EM, CC2530, CC1200

Hi all,

I am a PhD student, and my research is on wireless sensor networks routing protocols.
I have been working on the SimpliciTI along the CC2530DK (with 2 smartRF05EB, 2 SoC Battery Boards,  and 4 CC2530EM). Now I want to implement and study some routing protocols for WSNs. Is it possible to do it with simpliciTI? I know that is not directly possible, but with some changes, it possible? And how? Is it possible to get this information from TI?
I like simpliciTI because it is OpenSource and I wouldnt like to change my development platform again.

Thanks in advance,
Tiago Gomes

    Tiago, 

    SimpliciTI is just a star network, with "range extenders". That means it is not a mesh or any other more advance network system.

    I would recommend looking at a different open source environment called Contiki OS, this system lets your compile in many different routing systems and even create your own. Contiki also supports your CC2530 development kits.

    http://www.contiki-os.org/

    I hope this helps your studies.

    TA12012, Thanks for your reply.

    Yes I know that SimpliTI is only a star network with range extenders, that's why I would like to give it more advanced topologies with routing protocols.

    A more complex OS isnt needed on this stage of the research.  I would like to strip down the SimpliciTI in order tho implement my protocols. Do you think if that is feasible?


    Thanks again for you time,

    Tiago Gomes

    Tiago Gomes, 

    I think so, but it not something I have tried or can help with.

    Thank you for your reply.

    I will try to do some research on it. Wish me luck :)

    Tiago,

    I'm part of a university research project developing an energy-aware operating
    system for a network of solar-powered nodes (featuring an MSP430 MCU and
    a CC1200 radio module). The network will include one always-on gateway
    but will span relatively long distances. Dedicating some of the nodes as
    repeaters will very likely exceed their energy constraints, hence the
    classical star topology used by SimpliciTI seems to be out of question.

    Before we start to implement our own protocol stack, we decided to
    investigate other solutions to this problem and stumbled across your now
    2,5 year old posting. Did you have any success adapting SimpliciTI to
    enable routing?

    Best regards,
    Daniel
