[Tinyos-help] Reducing Multiple Timers ??

[Brian Mulanda]

How about approaching it differently. Have each mote maintain a single timer
a list of its
neighbors. Each neighbor entry can be associated with a value that you
update every time
the timer fires and whenever the mote hears from that particular neighbor.

*There could be a solution involving multiple timers; I am not familiar with
any.
