cc1310: how to use beacon mode at 15.4 stack

HI,Chen.
I set these value to 8 according to the prompt in the code,but i find ,when the end device join the network ,the end device can send message to the coordinator, but the coordinator send messages to the end device ,the end device can't recieve them,so I'm confused,if any others should i config?do you have any reference?
Thanks very much!

I suggest you to setup sniffer to check it.

Hi,Chen.
I change the value of CONFIG_MAC_BEACON_ORDER and CONFIG_MAC_SUPERFRAME_ORDER,does the mode become beacon mode ?
Thanks!

Unless you set both CONFIG_MAC_BEACON_ORDER and CONFIG_MAC_SUPERFRAME_ORDER to 15, it would work as beacon mode.

Hi,Chen.
I have set the mode to beacon successfully,but I reset the device, and the device restarts,it can recieve messages but can't send messages.why?
Thanks!

What settings do you use ?

Hi,Chen.
I set CONFIG_BEACON_ORDER 5,CONFIG_SUPERFRAME_ORDER 4
Thanks!

Do you change anything else other than those settings?

Hi,Chen.
No,I have found the reason.So now it works.
Thanks!

Cheers! Can you share your solution to benefit others have similar issue?

Hi,Chen.
due to the fake packet.
when the end device powers up or finds network ,it can be in sleepy theoretically.In fact,it can't be in sleepy until send a fake packet.So I add a fake packet in sensor_init(),because of this, when the device joins network and restart,it can't send messages to the coordinator in beacon mode.so I annotate the fake packet,but the device can't sleep when power up or find network,it results in the average consumption increases.
Thanks!

I see and Thanks for sharing back to E2E forum.

Hi,Chen.
I have another problem, i find the range of CC1310 with 15.4 stack is shoter than the range of CC1310 tested by smartRF studio 7,I think two reasons,1、the transmit power is limited 2、the rssithr is low in RF_cmdPropCsSlotted and RF_cmdPropCs,it's -83.I want to change the value to -50, I don't know if it is right.
Thanks!

Sorry,it's should be high, i want to change the value to-95.

To match SmartRF Studio, CCFG_FORCE_VDDR_HH=1 needs to be defined and CONFIG_TRANSMIT_POWER=14.

HI,Brocklobsta.
Does the rssithr in RF_cmdPropCsSlotted and RF_cmdPropCs have influence in the range ?Can i change the value ?
Thanks!

Hi,Brocklobsta.
I see, I think this value limits the range,but I'm worried it impacts the stability.
I also have a problem about beacon mode, I change the orderbeacon to 5, superfarmeorder to 4, sometimes the end device reconnects the coordinator from orphan state successfully, but they still can't communicate each other.I capture packets, I can see the end device realigns successfully.So what's the problem of it?
Thanks!
