AUTOACK

may be used for non-beacon

systems as long as the frame pending
field (see Figure 19) is cleared. The
acknowledge frame is then transmitted 12

symbol periods after the last symbol of the
incoming frame. This is as specified by [1]
for non-beacon networks.

Figure 23. Acknowledge frame format [1]

Two command strobes,

SACK

and

SACKPEND

are defined to transmit

acknowledge frames with the frame
pending field cleared or set, respectively.
The acknowledge frame is only
transmitted if the CRC is valid.

For systems using beacons, there is an
additional timing requirement that the
acknowledge frame transmission should
be started on the first backoff-slot
boundary (20 symbol periods) at least 12
symbol periods after the last symbol of the
incoming frame. This timing must be
controlled by the microcontroller by issuing
the

SACK

and

SACKPEND

command strobe

12 symbol periods before the following
backoff-slot boundary, as illustrated in
Figure 24.

If a

SACK

or

SACKPEND

command strobe

is issued while receiving an incoming
frame, the acknowledge frame is
transmitted 12 symbol periods after the
last symbol of the incoming frame. This
should be used to transmit acknowledge
frames in non-beacon networks. This
timing is also illustrated in Figure 24.

Using

SACKPEND

will set the pending data

flag for automatically transmitted
acknowledge frames using

AUTOACK

. The

pending flag will then be set also for future
acknowledge frames, until a

SACK

command strobe is issued.

Acknowledge frames may be manually
transmitted using normal data
transmission if desired.
