Hi ,
My question is regarding the #defines MAC_RADIO_TIMER_TICKS_PER_BACKOFF() and MAC_BACKOFF_TIMER_DEFAULT_ROLLOVER
These are the rollover period defines for 16 bit count and 24 bit overflow registers for the MAC timer (Timer 2)
MAC_RADIO_TIMER_TICKS_PER_BACKOFF() is defined as 0x2800 and MAC_BACKOFF_TIMER_DEFAULT_ROLLOVER 0xC0000 .
This gives a total rollover time of approx 250 seconds. Can I increase these values? The upper limit as I calculalted was some where around 9 hours based on the The maximum for these registers which are 0xFFFF and 0xFFFFFF ?
Are there any side effects I should be aware of when I change this value ? What do these values mean to the MAC layer. I want to use the full timing capability of the MAC TIMER ? Any help in this regard will be of great help.
Thanks
