In this step we combine the 2 possibilities of sending messages in a model.
A station can send messages using the CSMA-CA-algorithm or a guaranteed time slot. The coordinator decides if a station may use a guaranteed time slot or it must use the CSMA-CA-algorithm.
We put the two models together to realize this. The following MoDeST-code shows an overview for the station model and the coordinator model:
01 process coordinator(int BI) { 02 clock timer; 03 do{ 04 ::when(timer==BI) send_beacon; receive message; 05 } 06 } 01 process station(int id) { 02 do{ 03 ::receive beacon; 04 alt{ //decide the method of sending a message 05 //(CSMA-CA or guaranteed time slot) 06 :: when (guaranteed_time_slot_assigned) send_using_GTS 07 :: when (!guaranteed_time_slot_assigned) send_using_csma_ca 08 } 09 } 10 }
