[Tinyos-help] CC2420 Back-by-Back Transmission

[Jiakang Lu]

Hi,

With CC2420, I'm trying to send a train of packets in a back-by-back 
way. "Back-by-back" means there is no CCA or backoff between two packets 
in the train. And there are about 100 - 200 packets in one train. 
However, I noticed that the packet train was separated into several 
pieces instead of sending in a complete train. It showed that the 
transmission was stuck somewhere in the train (the broken position is 
generally random). After around 2 seconds, the radio continued sending 
the rest train cars. For your reference, I've attached a plot with 
timestamp of each packet in the train.

Does anyone have any idea why this happens? Thank you very much.

Best,
Jiakang
