Hi,

you don't need the entire MAC layer if you just want to implement CSMA-CA scheme.

However, i would recommend you look as a reference the implementation of CSMA in TI-MAC which is certified, deployed in thousands of applications and systems.

The code that handles CSMA is exposed.

If you choose to implement your own version of SW driver for the CC2520 radio, I suggest you post your queries onto Low Power RF Proprietary Software & SimpliciTI Forum

Thanks,
