Address Recognition
CC2420 includes hardware support for
address recognition, as specified in [1].
Hardware address recognition may be
enabled / disabled using the
MDMCTRL0.ADR_DECODE control bit.
Address recognition is based on the
following requirements, listed from section
7.5.6.2 in [1]:
• The frame type subfield shall not
contain an illegal frame type
• If the frame type indicates that the
frame is a beacon frame, the
source PAN identifier shall match
macPANId unless macPANId is
equal to 0xFFFF, in which case
the beacon frame shall be
accepted regardless of the source
PAN identifier.
• If a destination PAN identifier is
included in the frame, it shall
match macPANId or shall be the
broadcast PAN identifier
(0xFFFF).
• If a short destination address is
included in the frame, it shall
match either macShortAddress or
the broadcast address (0xFFFF).
Otherwise if an extended
destination address is included in
the frame, it shall match
aExtendedAddress.
• If only source addressing fields
are included in a data or MAC
command frame, the frame shall
only be accepted if the device is a
PAN coordinator and the source
PAN
identifier
matches
macPANId.
If any of the above requirements are not
satisfied and address recognition is
enabled, CC2420 will disregard the
incoming frame and flush the data from
the RXFIFO. Only data from the rejected
frame is flushed, data from previously
accepted frames may still be in the
RXFIFO.
The IOCFG0.BCN_ACCEPT control bit
must be set when the PAN identifier
programmed into CC2420 RAM is equal to
0xFFFF and cleared otherwise. This
particularly applies to active and passive
scans as defined by [1] which requires all
received beacons to be processed by the
MAC sublayer.
Incoming frames with reserved frame
types (FCF frame type subfield is 4, 5, 6 or
7) is however accepted if the
RESERVED_FRAME_MODE control bit in
MDMCTRL0 is set. In this case, no further
address recognition is performed on these
frames. This option is included for future
expansions of the IEEE 802.15.4
standard.
