Message Fragmentation#

Splits long messages into smaller blocks for transmission and reassembles received blocks. See fragment.h for source code.

EMBER_FRAGMENT_WINDOW_SIZE controls how many blocks are sent at a time. EMBER_FRAGMENT_DELAY_MS controls the spacing between blocks.

To send a long message, the application calls emberFragmentSendUnicast(). The application must add a call to emberFragmentMessageSent() at the start of its emberMessageSentHandler(). If emberFragmentMessageSent() returns true, the fragmentation code has handled the event and the application must not process it further. The fragmentation code calls the application-defined emberFragmentMessageSentHandler() when it has finished sending the long message.

To receive a long message, the application must add a call to emberFragmentIncomingMessage() at the start of its emberIncomingMessageHandler(). If emberFragmentIncomingMessage() returns true, the fragmentation code has handled the message and the application must not process it further. The application must also call emberFragmentTick() regularly.

Fragmented message support for EZSP Hosts. Splits long messages into smaller blocks for transmission and reassembles received blocks. See fragment-host.c for source code.

::EZSP_CONFIG_FRAGMENT_WINDOW_SIZE controls how many blocks are sent at a time. ::EZSP_CONFIG_FRAGMENT_DELAY_MS controls the spacing between blocks.

Before calling any of the other functions listed here, the application must call ezspFragmentInit().

Initialization#

void
ezspFragmentInit(uint16_t receiveBufferLength, uint8_t *receiveBuffer)

Initialize variables and buffers used for sending and receiving long messages. This functions reads the values of ::EZSP_CONFIG_MAX_HOPS and ::EZSP_CONFIG_FRAGMENT_WINDOW_SIZE. The application must set these values before calling this function.

Transmitting#

ezspFragmentSendUnicast(EmberOutgoingMessageType type, uint16_t indexOrDestination, EmberApsFrame *apsFrame, uint8_t maxFragmentSize, uint16_t messageLength, uint8_t *messageContents)

Send a long message by splitting it into blocks. Only one long message can be sent at a time. Calling this function a second time aborts the first message.

DEPRECATED A callback invoked just before each block of the current long message is sent. Previously, if the message had to be source routed, the application needed this callback and call ezspSetSourceRoute() in it. Since Zigbee 6.7 has removed the host side source route table, this callback deems to be unnecessary, and will be deprecated later.

bool
ezspFragmentMessageSent(EmberApsFrame *apsFrame, EmberStatus status)

The application must call this function at the start of its ezspMessageSentHandler(). If it returns true, the fragmentation code has handled the event and the application must not process it further.

void
ezspFragmentMessageSentHandler(EmberStatus status)

The fragmentation code calls this application-defined handler when it finishes sending a long message.

Receiving#

bool
ezspFragmentIncomingMessage(EmberApsFrame *apsFrame, EmberNodeId sender, uint16_t *messageLength, uint8_t **messageContents)

The application must call this function at the start of its ezspIncomingMessageHandler(). If it returns true, the fragmentation code has handled the message and the application must not process it further. When the final block of a long message is received, this function replaces the message with the reassembled long message and returns false so that the application processes it.

void

Used by the fragmentation code to time incoming blocks. The application must call this function regularly.

emberFragmentSendUnicast#

EmberStatus emberFragmentSendUnicast (EmberOutgoingMessageType type, uint16_t indexOrDestination, EmberApsFrame * apsFrame, EmberMessageBuffer payload, uint8_t maxFragmentSize)
Parameters
N/Atype

Specifies the outgoing message type. Must be one of EMBER_OUTGOING_DIRECT, EMBER_OUTGOING_VIA_ADDRESS_TABLE, or EMBER_OUTGOING_VIA_BINDING.

N/AindexOrDestination

Depending on the type of addressing used, this is either the EmberNodeId of the destination, an index into the address table, or an index into the binding table.

N/AapsFrame

The APS frame for the message.

N/Apayload

The long message to be sent.

N/AmaxFragmentSize

The message will be broken into blocks no larger than this.

emberFragmentMessageSent#

bool emberFragmentMessageSent (EmberApsFrame * apsFrame, EmberMessageBuffer buffer, EmberStatus status)
Parameters
N/AapsFrame

The APS frame passed to emberMessageSentHandler().

N/Abuffer

The buffer passed to emberMessageSentHandler().

N/Astatus

The status passed to emberMessageSentHandler().

The application must call this function at the start of its emberMessageSentHandler(). If it returns true, the fragmentation code has handled the event and the application must not process it further.

Returns

  • true if the sent message was a block of a long message. The fragmentation code has handled the event so the application must return immediately from its emberMessageSentHandler(). Returns false otherwise. The fragmentation code has not handled the event so the application must continue to process it.

emberFragmentMessageSentHandler#

void emberFragmentMessageSentHandler (EmberStatus status)
Parameters
N/Astatus

EMBER_SUCCESS if all the blocks of the long message were delivered to the destination, otherwise EMBER_DELIVERY_FAILED, EMBER_NO_BUFFERS, EMBER_NETWORK_DOWN or EMBER_NETWORK_BUSY.

The fragmentation code calls this application-defined handler when it finishes sending a long message.

emberFragmentIncomingMessage#

bool emberFragmentIncomingMessage (EmberApsFrame * apsFrame, EmberMessageBuffer * payload)
Parameters
N/AapsFrame

The APS frame passed to emberIncomingMessageHandler().

N/Apayload

The payload passed to emberIncomingMessageHandler().

The application must call this function at the start of its emberIncomingMessageHandler(). If it returns true, the fragmentation code has handled the message and the application must not process it further. When the final block of a long message is received, this function replaces the message with the reassembled long message and returns false so that the application processes it.

Returns

  • true if the incoming message was a block of an incomplete long message. The fragmentation code has handled the message so the application must return immediately from its emberIncomingMessageHandler(). Returns false if the incoming message was not part of a long message. The fragmentation code has not handled the message so the application must continue to process it. Returns false if the incoming message was a block that completed a long message. The fragmentation code replaces the message with the reassembled long message so the application must continue to process it.
