drivers/at86rf215: implement MR-OFDM #14010

benpicco · 2020-05-04T01:38:23Z

Contribution description

This adds MR-OFDM modulation to the at86rf215 driver.

This also adds new commands to ifconfig to configure the new modulation parameters.

Testing procedure

Switch to the new PHY mode with ifconfig 7 set phy_mode mr-ofdm. Note that the L2-PDU has changed to 2022 bytes (802.15.4g can send 2047 byte frames).

You should be able to configure the OFDM option (ifconfig 7 set option [1…4]) as well as the Modulation and Coding Scheme (ifconfig 7 set mcs [0…6]):

2020-05-04 03:49:00,938 #  ifconfig 7 set mcs 2
2020-05-04 03:49:04,010 #  ifconfig 7 set option 4

2020-05-04 03:52:51,348 #

Nodes can talk to each other if they use the same option, but different Modulation & Coding Schemes.

@tinstructor I heard you like MR-OFDM, want to give this a try? 😉

tinstructor · 2020-05-25T18:53:58Z

@benpicco I'll run through your testing procedure quickly tomorrow morning. Mind you, due to Corona lockdown measures I currently don't have access to a signal analyzer should things need troubleshooting.

tinstructor · 2020-05-26T09:48:36Z

@benpicco Remind me again, which example application do you typically use to test drivers like this?

benpicco · 2020-05-26T09:49:45Z

examples/gnrc_networking should work

tinstructor · 2020-05-26T10:41:35Z

@benpicco I've quickly done some testing with two OpenMote-B nodes and it seems to work just fine. Of course you'd probably want to run a few hundred pings for each interface / each combination of option + MCS to be sure

Some nitpicks, otherwise code looks. Will test against different configurations.

Your application that looped over the different configurations would be very usefull here :)

That one?
Probably needs an update to match the upstream API now.

Did some testing mixing up configurations and it all seems to work. trying to see if I can cover them all automaticaly.

I used #13612 to script testing over all possible combinations. Worked for all pining both ways with -c 100 -s 100 -i 100. For the options/mcs allowing higher datarates I was able to ping at much higher rates.

fjmolinas · 2020-06-02T19:59:02Z

@benpicco would you mind uncrustifying the files?

benpicco · 2020-06-02T20:40:12Z

I removed some of the crust, although IMHO that added to the taste.
Or do you mean also uncrustify the existing code?

fjmolinas · 2020-06-03T06:23:42Z

The new code, I noticed that uncrustify -c uncrustify-riot.cfg drivers/at86rf215/at86rf215_ofdm.c suggested many changes :)

fjmolinas · 2020-06-03T13:42:09Z

Please squash @benpicco (BTW I don't get nitified when you push a fix, so please ping me when you do so I notice :) )

+                        _TXDFE_SR(option) | _TXDFE_RCUT(option));
+
+    /* set channel spacing */
+    at86rf215_reg_write(dev, dev->RF->RG_CS, _channel_spacing_kHz(option) / 25);


Just noticed this 25, why is it?

Oh yeah 25Khz resolution

Can you add a comment like for o-qpsk?

/* set channel spacing with 25 kHz resolution */

Done! And I also undid some of the damage done by uncrustify in the next line.

Define options for IEEE 802.15.4g MR-OFDM as well as shell commands to set them via ifconfig.

With the added features, the driver doesn't fit onto those ATmega boards anymore.
