### Overview



TinyOS 2.x supplies a well-designed single hop messaging layer for

applications, but there is no standardized multihop framework. To

address this issue, we surveyed a large number of applications

\[[1](#Xsurvey)\] to determine the addressing

techniques and messaging stack features used in sensor networks. From

the results of this survey, we designed a multihop networking API

\[[2](#Xapi)\] to address the needs of

application designers at the messaging layer in a unified way.



This framework intends to implement that API. The key goals of this

include:



  - Multihop routing with several addressing modes based on:

      - Node address (single node, multiple nodes, or a list of nodes)

      - Geographical region

      - Device hierarchy

  - Intercept messages to be forwarded

  - Control transmission effort

  - Congestion management

  - Support self-organized device hierarchies



Our design allows application designers to focus on the application

layer without being bogged down by the details of routing protocol

implementation. Similarly, routing protocol designers can make their

improvements more accessible to the rest of the community since only a

few wiring changes are needed to alter the routing protocol used by a

given addressing mode, leaving application code untouched.



In its current form, the framework implementation supports addressing

and multihop routing by a single node address. Our version of Dynamic

Source Routing (DSR) \[[3](#Xdsr-rfc)\]

modified for TinyOS is used as the routing layer.
