[Tinyos-help] Packet Transmission Delays

[Tal Rusak]

     The most useful for my application will probably be "the time from
send() to sendDone()", since I need to coordinate several actions
based on the time at which a packet would be received if the
transmission is successful (but without depending on it actually
being received, i.e., without using the receive event).

Thanks,
Tal
