hi all
i need to have a scenario which can allow two low power devices to communicate.
up til now i thought of two options:
1. a router which communicates to an end device- this can be achieved by setting a coordinator, connecting a router to it, shutting down the coordinator and reconecting it as an end point.
2. becon mode- coordinator <-> end point.
1. for the first scenario:
-can the NWK exist without a coordinator?
-can i set the router to work on a duty cycle without changing the z- stack?
from z-stack developers guide: "A special mode of network operation, called “Cluster Tree”, allows Routers to operate on a periodic duty cycle and thus enables them to be battery-powered."
if not, how is the programing of the z- stack doen? can it be applied to the cc2480
2. the secound scenario:
-when in beacon mode is the coordinator in a low power mode? does he turns off when not beaconing?
-can the end devise be both in sleep mode and in beacon mode- sleep untill button presed, when pressed wait for a beacon and then transmit data?
-which microcontrolers support beacon mode?
thanks in advance for your help.
