otPlatRadioGetPromiscuous#

bool otPlatRadioGetPromiscuous (otInstance * aInstance)

Get the status of promiscuous mode.

otPlatRadioSetPromiscuous#

void otPlatRadioSetPromiscuous (otInstance * aInstance, bool aEnable)

Enable or disable promiscuous mode.

otPlatRadioSetRxOnWhenIdle#

void otPlatRadioSetRxOnWhenIdle (otInstance * aInstance, bool aEnable)

Sets the rx-on-when-idle state to the radio platform.

There are a few situations that the radio can enter sleep state if the device is in rx-off-when-idle state but it's hard and costly for the SubMac to identify these situations and instruct the radio to enter sleep:

• Finalization of a regular frame reception task, provided that:

  • The frame is received without errors and passes the filtering and it's not an spurious ACK.

  • ACK is not requested or transmission of ACK is not possible due to internal conditions.

• Finalization of a frame transmission or transmission of an ACK frame, when ACK is not requested in the transmitted frame.

• Finalization of the reception operation of a requested ACK due to:

  • ACK timeout expiration.

  • Reception of an invalid ACK or not an ACK frame.

  • Reception of the proper ACK, unless the transmitted frame was a Data Request Command and the frame pending bit on the received ACK is set to true. In this case the radio platform implementation SHOULD keep the receiver on until a determined timeout which triggers an idle period start.OPENTHREAD_CONFIG_MAC_DATA_POLL_TIMEOUT can be taken as a reference for this.

• Finalization of a stand alone CCA task.

• Finalization of a CCA operation with busy result during CSMA/CA procedure.

• Finalization of an Energy Detection task.

• Finalization of a radio reception window scheduled with otPlatRadioReceiveAt.

If a platform supports OT_RADIO_CAPS_RX_ON_WHEN_IDLE it must also support OT_RADIO_CAPS_CSMA_BACKOFF and handle idle periods after CCA as described above.

Upon the transition of the "RxOnWhenIdle" flag from TRUE to FALSE, the radio platform should enter sleep mode. If the radio is currently in receive mode, it should enter sleep mode immediately. Otherwise, it should enter sleep mode after the current operation is completed.

otPlatRadioSetMacKey#

void otPlatRadioSetMacKey (otInstance * aInstance, uint8_t aKeyIdMode, uint8_t aKeyId, const otMacKeyMaterial * aPrevKey, const otMacKeyMaterial * aCurrKey, const otMacKeyMaterial * aNextKey, otRadioKeyType aKeyType)

Update MAC keys and key index.

Is used when radio provides OT_RADIO_CAPS_TRANSMIT_SEC capability.

otPlatRadioSetMacFrameCounter#

void otPlatRadioSetMacFrameCounter (otInstance * aInstance, uint32_t aMacFrameCounter)

Sets the current MAC frame counter value.

Is used when radio provides OT_RADIO_CAPS_TRANSMIT_SEC capability.

otPlatRadioSetMacFrameCounterIfLarger#

void otPlatRadioSetMacFrameCounterIfLarger (otInstance * aInstance, uint32_t aMacFrameCounter)

Sets the current MAC frame counter value only if the new given value is larger than the current value.

Is used when radio provides OT_RADIO_CAPS_TRANSMIT_SEC capability.

otPlatRadioGetNow#

uint64_t otPlatRadioGetNow (otInstance * aInstance)

Get the current time in microseconds referenced to a continuous monotonic local radio clock (64 bits width).

The radio clock SHALL NOT wrap during the device's uptime. Implementations SHALL therefore identify and compensate for internal counter overflows. The clock does not have a defined epoch and it SHALL NOT introduce any continuous or discontinuous adjustments (e.g. leap seconds). Implementations SHALL compensate for any sleep times of the device.

Implementations MAY choose to discipline the radio clock and compensate for sleep times by any means (e.g. by combining a high precision/low power RTC with a high resolution counter) as long as the exposed combined clock provides continuous monotonic microsecond resolution ticks within the accuracy limits announced by otPlatRadioGetCslAccuracy.

Returns

• The current time in microseconds. UINT64_MAX when platform does not support or radio time is not ready.

otPlatRadioGetBusSpeed#

uint32_t otPlatRadioGetBusSpeed (otInstance * aInstance)

Get the bus speed in bits/second between the host and the radio chip.

Returns

• The bus speed in bits/second between the host and the radio chip. Return 0 when the MAC and above layer and Radio layer resides on the same chip.

otPlatRadioGetBusLatency#

uint32_t otPlatRadioGetBusLatency (otInstance * aInstance)

Get the bus latency in microseconds between the host and the radio chip.

Returns

• The bus latency in microseconds between the host and the radio chip. Return 0 when the MAC and above layer and Radio layer resides on the same chip.
