[Tinyos-2-commits] CVS: tinyos-2.x/tos/interfaces SendNotifier.nc, NONE, 1.1

[dmm]

Update of /cvsroot/tinyos/tinyos-2.x/tos/interfaces
In directory sc8-pr-cvs10.sourceforge.net:/tmp/cvs-serv15704

Added Files:
	SendNotifier.nc 
Log Message:
Added the SendNotifier interface to support CTP + LPL integration.  

Create and drop a module into your system that listens for the SendNotifier events for the AM types related to CTP or Dissemination, then have it call LowPowerListening.setRxSleepInterval(msg, 512);.  Or capture the event for every AM type.

This can also be used to control other transmit parameters on a system-wide basis, like full duplex PA control on a per-destination basis, etc.  If this hook works out, we can expand this into other radio stacks.

/** 
 * The radio stack notifies the entire system that it is about to send

 * to modify the packet's metadata. For example, we can setup a module
 * in the system to make every CTP data packet send with low power listening
 * enabled:
 *
 *   event void SendNotifier.aboutToSend[AM_COLLECTION_DATA](uint8_t dest,
 *       message_t *msg) {
 *     call LowPowerListening.setRxSleepInterval(msg, 512);
