Detailed Description

IEEE 802.15.4 configuration routines.

The functions in this group configure RAIL IEEE 802.15.4 hardware acceleration which includes IEEE 802.15.4 format filtering, address filtering, ACKing, and filtering based on the frame type.

To configure IEEE 802.15.4 functionality, the application must first set up a RAIL instance with RAIL_Init() and other setup functions. Instead of RAIL_ConfigChannels() , however, an application may use RAIL_IEEE802154_Config2p4GHzRadio() to set up the official IEEE 2.4 GHz 802.15.4 PHY. This configuration is shown below.

802.15.4 defines its macAckWaitDuration from the end of the transmitted packet to complete reception of the ACK. RAIL's ackTimeout only covers sync word detection of the ACK. Therefore, subtract the ACK's PHY header and payload time to get RAIL's ackTimeout setting. For 2.4 GHz OQPSK, macAckWaitDuration is specified as 54 symbols; subtracting 2-symbol PHY header and 10-symbol payload yields a RAIL ackTimeout of 42 symbols or 672 microseconds at 16 microseconds/symbol.

static RAIL_Handle_t railHandle = NULL; // Initialized somewhere else.
static const RAIL_IEEE802154_Config_t rail154Config = {
. addresses = NULL,
.ackConfig = {
.enable = true , // Turn on auto ACK for IEEE 802.15.4.
.ackTimeout = 672, // See note above: 54-12 sym * 16 us/sym = 672 us.
.rxTransitions = {
.success = RAIL_RF_STATE_RX , // Return to RX after ACK processing
.error = RAIL_RF_STATE_RX , // Ignored
},
.txTransitions = {
.success = RAIL_RF_STATE_RX , // Return to RX after ACK processing
.error = RAIL_RF_STATE_RX , // Ignored
},
},
.timings = {
.idleToRx = 100,
.idleToTx = 100,
.rxToTx = 192, // 12 symbols * 16 us/symbol = 192 us

.rxSearchTimeout = 0, // Not used
.txToRxSearchTimeout = 0, // Not used
},
.framesMask = RAIL_IEEE802154_ACCEPT_STANDARD_FRAMES ,
.promiscuousMode = false , // Enable format and address filtering.
.isPanCoordinator = false ,
.defaultFramePendingInOutgoingAcks = false ,
};
void config154( void )
{
// Configure the radio and channels for 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4.
RAIL_IEEE802154_Config2p4GHzRadio (railHandle);
// Initialize the IEEE 802.15.4 configuration using the static configuration above.
RAIL_IEEE802154_Init (railHandle, &rail154Config);
}

To configure address filtering, call RAIL_IEEE802154_SetAddresses() with a structure containing all addresses or call the individual RAIL_IEEE802154_SetPanId() , RAIL_IEEE802154_SetShortAddress() , and RAIL_IEEE802154_SetLongAddress() APIs. RAIL supports RAIL_IEEE802154_MAX_ADDRESSES number of address pairs to receive packets from multiple IEEE 802.15.4 networks at the same time. Broadcast addresses are supported by default without any additional configuration so they do not consume one of these slots. If the application does not require all address pairs, be sure to set unused ones to the proper disabled value for each type. These can be found in the RAIL_IEEE802154_AddrConfig_t documentation. Below is an example of setting filtering for one set of addresses.

// PanID OTA value of 0x34 0x12.
// Short Address OTA byte order of 0x78 0x56.
// Long address with OTA byte order of 0x11 0x22 0x33 0x44 0x55 0x66 0x77 0x88.
// Set up all addresses simultaneously.
RAIL_Status_t setup1( void )
{
RAIL_IEEE802154_AddrConfig_t nodeAddress = {
{ 0x1234, 0xFFFF, 0xFFFF },
{ 0x5678, 0xFFFF, 0xFFFF },
{ { 0x11, 0x22, 0x33, 0x44, 0x55, 0x66, 0x77, 0x88 },
{ 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 },
{ 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 } }
};
return RAIL_IEEE802154_SetAddresses (railHandle, &nodeAddress);
}
// Alternatively, the addresses can be set up individually as follows:
RAIL_Status_t setup2( void )
{
RAIL_Status_t status;
const uint8_t longAddress[] = { 0x11, 0x22, 0x33, 0x44, 0x55, 0x66, 0x77, 0x88 };
status = RAIL_IEEE802154_SetPanId (railHandle, 0x1234, 0);
if (status != RAIL_STATUS_NO_ERROR ) {
return status
}
status = RAIL_IEEE802154_SetShortAddress (railHandle, 0x5678, 0);
if (status != RAIL_STATUS_NO_ERROR ) {
return status
}
status = RAIL_IEEE802154_SetLongAddress (railHandle, longAddress, 0);
if (status != RAIL_STATUS_NO_ERROR ) {
return status
}
return RAIL_STATUS_NO_ERROR ;
}

Address filtering will be enabled except when in promiscuous mode which can be set with RAIL_IEEE802154_SetPromiscuousMode() . The addresses may be changed at runtime. However, if you are receiving a packet while reconfiguring the address filters, you may get undesired behavior so it's safest to do this while not in receive.

Auto ACK is controlled by the ackConfig and timings fields passed to RAIL_IEEE802154_Init() . After initialization they may be controlled using the normal Auto-ACK and State Transitions APIs. When in IEEE 802.15.4 mode, the ACK will generally have a 5 byte length, its Frame Type will be ACK, its Frame Version 0 (2003), and its Frame Pending bit will be false unless the RAIL_EVENT_IEEE802154_DATA_REQUEST_COMMAND event is triggered in which case it will default to the RAIL_IEEE802154_Config_t::defaultFramePendingInOutgoingAcks setting. If the default Frame Pending setting is incorrect, the app must call RAIL_IEEE802154_ToggleFramePending (formerly RAIL_IEEE802154_SetFramePending ) while handling the RAIL_EVENT_IEEE802154_DATA_REQUEST_COMMAND event.

This event must be turned on by the user and will fire whenever a data request is being received so that the stack can determine whether there is pending data. Be aware that if the default Frame Pending bit needs to be changed it must be done quickly otherwise the ACK may already have been transmitted with the default setting. Check the return code of RAIL_IEEE802154_ToggleFramePending() to be sure that the bit was changed in time.

Transmit and receive operations are done using the standard RAIL APIs in IEEE 802.15.4 mode. To send packets using the correct CSMA configuration there is a RAIL_CSMA_CONFIG_802_15_4_2003_2p4_GHz_OQPSK_CSMA define that can initialize the csmaConfig structure passed to RAIL_StartCcaCsmaTx() .

◆ RAIL_IEEE802154_E_OPTION_ENH_ACK

#define RAIL_IEEE802154_E_OPTION_ENH_ACK   (1UL << RAIL_IEEE802154_E_OPTION_ENH_ACK_SHIFT)

An option to enable/disable 802.15.4E-2012 features needed for Enhanced ACKs.

This option requires that RAIL_IEEE802154_E_OPTION_GB868 also be enabled, and is enabled automatically on platforms that support this feature. It exists as a separate flag to allow runtime detection of whether the platform supports this feature or not.

When enabled, only an Enhanced ACK is expected in response to a transmitted ACK-requesting 802.15.4E Frame Version 2 frame, and when such a frame is received, the application is expected to generate the Enhanced ACK while processing RAIL_EVENT_IEEE802154_DATA_REQUEST_COMMAND and call RAIL_IEEE802154_WriteEnhAck() in time for that Enhanced ACK to be sent. For this to work properly, the application should enable both RAIL_IEEE802154_EnableEarlyFramePending() and RAIL_IEEE802154_EnableDataFramePending() , and use RAIL_GetRxIncomingPacketInfo() to determine whether an Enhanced ACK is needed along the contents of that ACK packet.

On 802.15.4E GB868 platforms that lack this support, legacy Immediate ACKs are sent/expected for received/transmitted ACK-requesting 802.15.4E Frame Version 2 frames; calls to RAIL_IEEE802154_WriteEnhAck() have no effect. Attempting to use this feature via RAIL_IEEE802154_ConfigEOptions() returns an error.

Definition at line 670 of file rail_ieee802154.h .

◆ RAIL_IEEE802154_E_OPTION_GB868

#define RAIL_IEEE802154_E_OPTION_GB868   (1UL << RAIL_IEEE802154_E_OPTION_GB868_SHIFT)

An option to enable/disable 802.15.4E-2012 features needed for GB868.

When not promiscuous, RAIL normally accepts only 802.15.4 MAC frames whose MAC header Frame Version is 0 (802.15.4-2003) or 1 (802.15.4-2006), filtering out higher Frame Version packets (as RAIL_RX_PACKET_ABORT_FORMAT ). Enabling this feature additionally allows Frame Version 2 (802.15.4E-2012 / 802.15.4-2015) packets to be accepted and passed to the application.

Note
If 802.15.4 MAC-level encryption is used with Frame Version 2 frames, RAIL_IEEE802154_EnableEarlyFramePending() should also be called otherwise data polls may not be recognized to trigger RAIL_EVENT_IEEE802154_DATA_REQUEST_COMMAND events.
Enabling this feature also automatically enables RAIL_IEEE802154_E_OPTION_ENH_ACK on platforms that support that feature.
This feature does not automatically enable receiving Multipurpose frames; that can be enabled via RAIL_IEEE802154_AcceptFrames() 's RAIL_IEEE802154_ACCEPT_MULTIPURPOSE_FRAMES .

◆ RAIL_IEEE802154_E_OPTION_IMPLICIT_BROADCAST

#define RAIL_IEEE802154_E_OPTION_IMPLICIT_BROADCAST   (1UL << RAIL_IEEE802154_E_OPTION_IMPLICIT_BROADCAST_SHIFT)

An option to enable/disable 802.15.4E-2012 macImplicitBroadcast feature.

When enabled, received Frame Version 2 frames without a destination PAN ID or destination address are treated as though they are addressed to the broadcast PAN ID and broadcast short address. When disabled, such frames are filtered unless the device is the PAN coordinator and appropriate source addressing information exists in the packet

◆ RAIL_IEEE802154_G_OPTION_GB868

#define RAIL_IEEE802154_G_OPTION_GB868   (1UL << RAIL_IEEE802154_G_OPTION_GB868_SHIFT)

An option to enable/disable 802.15.4G-2012 features needed for GB868.

Normally RAIL supports 802.15.4-2003 and -2006 radio configurations that have the single-byte PHY header allowing frames up to 128 bytes in size. This feature must be enabled for 802.15.4G-2012 or 802.15.4-2015 SUN PHY radio configurations with the two-byte bit-reversed-length PHY header format.

While GB868 only supports whitened non-FEC non-mode-switch frames up to 129 bytes including 2-byte CRC, this option also enables:

  • On platforms where RAIL_FEAT_IEEE802154_G_4BYTE_CRC_SUPPORTED is true: automatic per-packet 2/4-byte Frame Check Sequence (FCS) reception and transmission based on the FCS Type bit in the received/transmitted PHY header. This includes ACK reception and automatically-generated ACKs reflect the CRC size of the incoming frame being acknowledged (i.e., their MAC payload will be increased to 7 bytes when sending 4-byte FCS). On other platforms, only the 2-byte FCS is supported.
  • On platforms where RAIL_FEAT_IEEE802154_G_UNWHITENED_RX_SUPPORTED and/or RAIL_FEAT_IEEE802154_G_UNWHITENED_TX_SUPPORTED are true: automatic per-packet whitened/unwhitened reception and transmission, respectively, based on the Data Whitening bit in the received/transmitted PHY header. This includes ACK reception and automatically-generated ACKs which reflect the whitening of the incoming frame being acknowledged. On other platforms, only whitened frames are supported.
  • Support for frames up to 2049 bytes per the radio configuration's maximum packet length setting.
Note
Sending/receiving whitened frames assumes the radio configuration has established an appropriate 802.15.4-compliant whitening algorithm. RAIL does not itself override the radio configuration's whitening settings other than to enable/disable it per-packet based on the packet's PHY header Data Whitening flag.

Function Documentation

◆ RAIL_IEEE802154_AcceptFrames()

RAIL_Status_t RAIL_IEEE802154_AcceptFrames ( RAIL_Handle_t railHandle,
uint8_t framesMask
)

Set which 802.15.4 frame types to accept.

Parameters
[in] railHandle A handle of RAIL instance.
[in] framesMask A mask containing which 802.15.4 frame types to receive.
Returns
A status code indicating success of the function call.

This function will fail if 802.15.4 hardware acceleration is not currently enabled or framesMask requests an unsupported frame type. This setting may be changed at any time when 802.15.4 hardware acceleration is enabled. Only Beacon, Data, ACK, Command, and Multipurpose (except on EFR32XG1) frames may be received. The RAIL_IEEE802154_ACCEPT_XXX_FRAMES defines may be combined to create a bitmask to pass into this function.

RAIL_IEEE802154_ACCEPT_ACK_FRAMES behaves slightly different than the other defines. If RAIL_IEEE802154_ACCEPT_ACK_FRAMES is set, the radio will accept an ACK frame during normal packet reception, but only a truly expected ACK will have its RAIL_RxPacketDetails_t::isAck true. If RAIL_IEEE802154_ACCEPT_ACK_FRAMES is not set, ACK frames will be filtered unless they're expected when the radio is waiting for an ACK.

◆ RAIL_IEEE802154_Deinit()

RAIL_Status_t RAIL_IEEE802154_Deinit ( RAIL_Handle_t railHandle )

De-initialize IEEE802.15.4 hardware acceleration.

Parameters
[in] railHandle A handle of RAIL instance.
Returns
A status code indicating success of the function call.

Disables and resets all IEE802.15.4 hardware acceleration features. This function should only be called when the radio is IDLE. This calls the following:

◆ RAIL_IEEE802154_EnableDataFramePending()

RAIL_Status_t RAIL_IEEE802154_EnableDataFramePending ( RAIL_Handle_t railHandle,
bool enable
)

Enable Frame Pending lookup event notification (RAIL_EVENT_IEEE802154_DATA_REQUEST_COMMAND) for MAC Data frames.

Parameters
[in] railHandle A handle of RAIL instance.
[in] enable True to enable, false to disable.
Returns
A status code indicating success of the function call.

Normally RAIL_EVENT_IEEE802154_DATA_REQUEST_COMMAND is triggered only for MAC command frames whose MAC command byte indicates the packet is a data request. Enabling this feature causes this event to also be triggered for MAC data frames right after receiving the source address information in the MAC header – necessary to support the Thread Basil-Hayden Enhanced Frame Pending feature.

This function will fail if 802.15.4 hardware acceleration is not currently enabled. This setting may be changed at any time when 802.15.4 hardware acceleration is enabled.

◆ RAIL_IEEE802154_EnableEarlyFramePending()

RAIL_Status_t RAIL_IEEE802154_EnableEarlyFramePending ( RAIL_Handle_t railHandle,
bool enable
)

Enable early Frame Pending lookup event notification (RAIL_EVENT_IEEE802154_DATA_REQUEST_COMMAND).

Parameters
[in] railHandle A handle of RAIL instance.
[in] enable True to enable, false to disable.
Returns
A status code indicating success of the function call.

Normally RAIL_EVENT_IEEE802154_DATA_REQUEST_COMMAND is triggered after receiving the entire MAC header for a MAC command and the MAC command byte indicating the packet is a data request. Enabling this feature causes this event to be triggered earlier, right after receiving the source address information in the MAC header, allowing for more time to perform the lookup and call RAIL_IEEE802154_ToggleFramePending() to update the Frame Pending bit in the outgoing ACK for the incoming frame. This feature is also necessary for handling 802.15.4 MAC-encrypted frames where the MAC Command byte is encrypted (MAC Frame Version 2) – see RAIL_IEEE802154_ConfigEOptions() .

This function will fail if 802.15.4 hardware acceleration is not currently enabled, or on platforms that do not support this feature. This setting may be changed at any time when 802.15.4 hardware acceleration is enabled.

◆ RAIL_IEEE802154_GetAddress()

RAIL_Status_t RAIL_IEEE802154_GetAddress ( RAIL_Handle_t railHandle,
RAIL_IEEE802154_Address_t * pAddress
)

Get the source address of the incoming data request.

Parameters
[in] railHandle A RAIL instance handle.
[out] pAddress A pointer to RAIL_IEEE802154_Address_t structure to populate with source address information.
Returns
A status code indicating success of the function call.

This function must only be called when handling the RAIL_EVENT_IEEE802154_DATA_REQUEST_COMMAND event. This will return RAIL_STATUS_INVALID_STATE if the address information is stale (i.e., it is too late to affect the outgoing ACK).

◆ RAIL_IEEE802154_Init()

RAIL_Status_t RAIL_IEEE802154_Init ( RAIL_Handle_t railHandle,
const RAIL_IEEE802154_Config_t * config
)

Initialize RAIL for IEEE802.15.4 features.

Parameters
[in] railHandle A handle of RAIL instance.
[in] config An IEEE802154 configuration structure.
Returns
A status code indicating success of the function call.

This function calls the following RAIL functions to configure the radio for IEEE802.15.4 features.

Initializes the following:

  • Enables IEEE802154 hardware acceleration
  • Configures RAIL Auto ACK functionality
  • Configures RAIL Address Filter for 802.15.4 address filtering

It saves having to call the following functions individually:

◆ RAIL_IEEE802154_IsEnabled()

bool RAIL_IEEE802154_IsEnabled ( RAIL_Handle_t railHandle )

Return whether IEEE802.15.4 hardware acceleration is currently enabled.

Parameters
[in] railHandle A handle of RAIL instance.
Returns
True if IEEE802.15.4 hardware acceleration was enabled to start with and false otherwise.

◆ RAIL_IEEE802154_SetAddresses()

RAIL_Status_t RAIL_IEEE802154_SetAddresses ( RAIL_Handle_t railHandle,
const RAIL_IEEE802154_AddrConfig_t * addresses
)

Configure the RAIL Address Filter for 802.15.4 filtering.

Parameters
[in] railHandle A handle of RAIL instance.
[in] addresses The address information that should be used.
Returns
A status code indicating success of the function call. If this returns an error, the 802.15.4 address filter is in an undefined state.

Set up the 802.15.4 address filter to accept messages to the given addresses. This will return false if any of the addresses failed to be set. If NULL is passed in for addresses, all addresses will be set to their reset value.

◆ RAIL_IEEE802154_SetFramePending()

RAIL_Status_t RAIL_IEEE802154_SetFramePending ( RAIL_Handle_t railHandle )

Change the Frame Pending bit on the outgoing legacy Immediate ACK from the default specified by RAIL_IEEE802154_Config_t::defaultFramePendingInOutgoingAcks .

Parameters
[in] railHandle A handle of RAIL instance
Returns
A status code indicating success of the function call.

This function must only be called while processing the RAIL_EVENT_IEEE802154_DATA_REQUEST_COMMAND if the ACK for this packet should go out with its Frame Pending bit set differently than what was specified by RAIL_IEEE802154_Config_t::defaultFramePendingInOutgoingAcks .

It's intended only for use with 802.15.4 legacy Immediate ACKs and not 802.15.4E Enhanced ACKs. This will return RAIL_STATUS_INVALID_STATE if it is too late to modify the outgoing Immediate ACK.

Note
This function is used to set the Frame Pending bit but its meaning depends on the value of RAIL_IEEE802154_Config_t::defaultFramePendingInOutgoingAcks while transmitting ACK. If RAIL_IEEE802154_Config_t::defaultFramePendingInOutgoingAcks is not set, then Frame Pending bit is set in outgoing ACK. Whereas, if RAIL_IEEE802154_Config_t::defaultFramePendingInOutgoingAcks is set, then Frame Pending bit is cleared in outgoing ACK.

Therefore, this function is to be called if the frame is pending when RAIL_IEEE802154_Config_t::defaultFramePendingInOutgoingAcks is not set or if there is no frame pending when RAIL_IEEE802154_Config_t::defaultFramePendingInOutgoingAcks is set.

◆ RAIL_IEEE802154_SetLongAddress()

RAIL_Status_t RAIL_IEEE802154_SetLongAddress ( RAIL_Handle_t railHandle,
const uint8_t * longAddr,
uint8_t index
)

Set a long address for 802.15.4 address filtering.

Parameters
[in] railHandle A handle of RAIL instance.
[in] longAddr A pointer to an 8-byte array containing the long address information. The long address must be in over-the-air byte order. This will be matched against the destination long address of incoming messages. Set to 0x00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 to disable for this index.
[in] index Indicates which long address to set. Must be below RAIL_IEEE802154_MAX_ADDRESSES.
Returns
A status code indicating success of the function call.

Set up the 802.15.4 address filter to accept messages to the given long address.

◆ RAIL_IEEE802154_SetPanCoordinator()

RAIL_Status_t RAIL_IEEE802154_SetPanCoordinator ( RAIL_Handle_t railHandle,
bool isPanCoordinator
)

Set whether the current node is a PAN coordinator.

Parameters
[in] railHandle A handle of RAIL instance.
[in] isPanCoordinator True if this device is a PAN coordinator.
Returns
A status code indicating success of the function call.

If the device is a PAN Coordinator, it will accept data and command frames with no destination address. This function will fail if 802.15.4 hardware acceleration is not currently enabled. This setting may be changed at any time when 802.15.4 hardware acceleration is enabled.

◆ RAIL_IEEE802154_SetPanId()

RAIL_Status_t RAIL_IEEE802154_SetPanId ( RAIL_Handle_t railHandle,
uint16_t panId,
uint8_t index
)

Set a PAN ID for 802.15.4 address filtering.

Parameters
[in] railHandle A handle of RAIL instance.
[in] panId The 16-bit PAN ID information. This will be matched against the destination PAN ID of incoming messages. The PAN ID is sent little endian over the air, meaning panId[7:0] is first in the payload followed by panId[15:8]. Set to 0xFFFF to disable for this index.
[in] index Indicates which PAN ID to set. Must be below RAIL_IEEE802154_MAX_ADDRESSES.
Returns
A status code indicating success of the function call.

Set up the 802.15.4 address filter to accept messages to the given PAN ID.

◆ RAIL_IEEE802154_SetPromiscuousMode()

RAIL_Status_t RAIL_IEEE802154_SetPromiscuousMode ( RAIL_Handle_t railHandle,
bool enable
)

Set whether to enable 802.15.4 promiscuous mode.

Parameters
[in] railHandle A handle of RAIL instance.
[in] enable True if all frames and addresses should be accepted.
Returns
A status code indicating success of the function call.

If promiscuous mode is enabled, no frame or address filtering steps will be performed other than checking the CRC. This function will fail if 802.15.4 hardware acceleration is not currently enabled. This setting may be changed at any time when 802.15.4 hardware acceleration is enabled.

◆ RAIL_IEEE802154_SetShortAddress()

RAIL_Status_t RAIL_IEEE802154_SetShortAddress ( RAIL_Handle_t railHandle,
uint16_t shortAddr,
uint8_t index
)

Set a short address for 802.15.4 address filtering.

Parameters
[in] railHandle A handle of RAIL instance
[in] shortAddr 16 bit short address value. This will be matched against the destination short address of incoming messages. The short address is sent little endian over the air meaning shortAddr[7:0] is first in the payload followed by shortAddr[15:8]. Set to 0xFFFF to disable for this index.
[in] index Which short address to set. Must be below RAIL_IEEE802154_MAX_ADDRESSES.
Returns
A status code indicating success of the function call.

Set up the 802.15.4 address filter to accept messages to the given short address.

◆ RAIL_IEEE802154_WriteEnhAck()

RAIL_Status_t RAIL_IEEE802154_WriteEnhAck ( RAIL_Handle_t railHandle,
const uint8_t * ackData,
uint8_t ackDataLen
)

Write the AutoACK FIFO for the next outgoing 802.15.4E Enhanced ACK.

Parameters
[in] railHandle A handle of RAIL instance.
[in] ackData Pointer to ACK data to transmit
[in] ackDataLen Length of ACK data, in bytes
Returns
A status code indicating success of the function call.

This function sets the AutoACK data to use in acknowledging the frame being received. It must only be called while processing the RAIL_EVENT_IEEE802154_DATA_REQUEST_COMMAND , and is intended for use when packet information from RAIL_GetRxIncomingPacketInfo() indicates an 802.15.4E Enhanced ACK must be sent instead of a legacy Immediate ACK. RAIL_IEEE802154_ToggleFramePending() should not be called for an Enhanced ACK; instead the Enhanced ACK's Frame Control Field should have the Frame Pending bit set appropriately in its ackData. This will return RAIL_STATUS_INVALID_STATE if it is too late to write the outgoing ACK – a situation that will likely trigger a RAIL_EVENT_TXACK_UNDERFLOW event. When successful, the Enhanced ackData will only be sent once. Subsequent packets needing an Enhanced ACK will each need to call this function to write their ACK information.
