CC1352P: Wi-SUN protocol

Joaquim Martinez

Part Number: CC1352P
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TIMAC, CC2530

Hi,

I am interesting in CC1352P and WI-SUN protocol. I think is very interesting protocol, similar to Zigbee in terms of topologies, but I have some doubt:

1. Has WI-SUN a bacon (time slot based) performance as Zigbee? I am interested in a tree/star topology.

2. Can all the nodes be battery powered? Even the Routers?

3. In case of a tree/star topology, the message can be addressed from one node to another?

I am looking for a similar performance of TIMAC bacon based protocol (CC2530), but much more reliable.

Thanks.

Joaquim.

Hi Joaquim,

1. The WiSUN protocol is a sub1 GHz Mesh network. But there is always just one active path from the border router to each node(might be with multiple hops).

2. The protocol itself is designed for grid applications with line powered nodes. The nodes remain in RX always, so it is not recommended to be battery powered. Sleepy nodes are a part of the WiSUN Roadmap but we do not have support for them yet.

3. The node messages are routed through the border router. The border router keeps track of all the routes.

You could try the TI 15.4 stack for a star topology networks.
