7.4 MAC PIB Attribute Specifications
MAC PIB attributes are specified by a one-byte identifier as shown in Table 7.4.1.
These attributes are read or written by using an MLME-GET.REQUES primitive or an MLME-SET.REQUST
primitive. Refer to IEEE 802.15.4-2003 for more details.
Table 7.4.1 MAC PIB Attribute (1)
Identifier Attribute Range
Description
Default
0x40
macAckWaitDuration
54
The number of symbols for waiting for reception
of an acknowledgment frame after transmission of
a data frame.
If an MLME-SET.REQUEST is made with a value
other than 54, then an MLME-SET.Confirm in the
the INVALID_PARAMETER status will be
returned.
54
0x41
macAssociationPermit
0 or 1
This attribute specifies if the coordinator permits
an association.
‘1’ is for permission.
‘0’ is for prohibition.
(MLME-ASSOCIATE.INDICATION will not be
notified to the upper level)
0
0x42
macAutoRequest
0 or 1
This attribute specifies if the device should
automatically send a data request command.
'1' is for automatic data request command
transmission when pending addresses are listed
in the beacon frame.
'0' is for no transmission of a data request
command. Obtain the data from
MLME-POLL.request issued by the upper-level
software.
1
0x43
macBattLifeExt
0 or 1
This attribute indicates if a battery life extension,
which decreases RX_ON time of the coordinator
receiver, is enabled during CAP of super frames.
'1' means it is enabled.
0
0x44
macBattLifeExtPeriods
6
The number of back off periods for the
coordinator of battery life extension mode to
determine that receiver is RX_ON after beacon
frame transmission.
If an MLME-SET.REQUEST is made with a value
other than 6, an MLME-SET.Confirm in the
INVALID_PARAMETER status will be returned.
6
0x45
macBeaconPayload
—
The data to be set to the beacon payload unit.
Do not set the value that exceeds the range of
macBeaconPayloadLength (up to 52 bytes).
NULL
0x46
macBeaconPayloadLength
0-52
This attribute specifies the byte length of the
beacon payload unit.
After this PIB is set, the payload will be added to
the beacon frame.
If this value is '0,' the payload will not be set to the
beacon even though data is set to
MacBeaconPayload.
0
0x47
macBeaconOrder
0-15
This attribute value is for specifying the beacon
interval when the coordinator starts PAN with a
beacon.
Beacon interval:
When 0
≤
BO
≤
14,
BI = aBaseSuperframeDuration(60)
×
2
BO
symbols.
When BO=15, a beacon will not be sent.
