Overview

Seda is a datalink layer protocol that enables the decoupling of framing from error recovery to achieve both high utilization of channel bandwidth and effective error recovery. To this end, Seda divides each frame into multiple blocks. Each block has its independent error detection, and serves as the basic unit for error recovery. The frame size is determined based on the per-frame PHY/MAC overhead as well as the packet-level latency.

Seda is implemented as a datalink layer protocol in the TinyOS programmable protocol stack. Seda provides an interface similar to the Comm API of TinyOS, with a Seda.send() command to send a packet and a Seda.receive() that is signaled when packets are received at the receiver end.
