CC3235SF: Transceiver mode ACK sense

Part Number: CC3235SF

Hi Support,

If we have two transceiver sockets open on two separate devices, and one sends to the other on a predetermined channel, how is the ACK communicated to the sender if ACK's are turned on?

Thanks

  • Hi,

    The 802.11 ACK in transceiver mode meant to enable the device to operate with testing equipment that waits for the ACK (when the transceiver is in RX mode). 

    If you use the transceiver for communication between 2 devices, it is recommended to uses proprietary acknowledgement protocol.

    You can try calling sl_Receive after the transmission and filter the ACK frame. However, I'm not sure you will get it in the host after sending data.

    Again, the ack was not meant for this use case and you better use other way to acknowledge the reception.   

    Br,
