[Tinyos-help] B-MAC doubt

[Fernan]

Hi

I'm studing the bmac protocol, and i have some doubts. First i made and application for micaz, start and stop the radio and enable HPLPowerManagement and the  consumption of the mote is 70 mA when the mote is sending, and 50 mA when its sleep mode, the battery died in one ten days.
Then i adapt my application to mica2 because BMAC could enlarge the battery's life, i read Joe Polastre's tesis months ago, and i have some doubts...Firstly I take the  consumption of the mote and it's 13 mA when the mote send the packet and 0.03 mA when the mote sleep.  At sight of the results i think bmac is by default into any application for mica2, really?

Second, is there any possibility of implement bmac for micaz, but i don´t sure that i could do an implementation of the protocol for micaz, what do you think about this???

Reggards!!

Fernando
