Future Extensions
-
Create specific channels for each logical channel.
-
Create "T" so more than two devices can communicate.
-
Add implementation option to stop scanning after "X" beacons received.
-
Add implementation to check pending list in create_Acknowledgement instead of in MAC_sublayer.
-
Fix slot transmission step in the transmission of a frame (i.e., the time at which the frame is transmitted). Note the behavior does not change. This is strictly a timing issue.
-
When matching beacons received during scanning, should compare channel also in the compare. Since there is not channel differentiation in the SDL there is no need for this now.
-
Implement the procedure to test for lack of use of the GTS (i.e., 7.5.7.6 GTS expiration)
-
Implement a reallocation procedure for GTS on the coordinator side.
