Abstract
Synchronous Transmissions is a technology that combines energy efficiency and reliability for low-power wireless multi-hop networks. But using this technology to design network stacks is a complex task, in part due to the tight timing requirements on the execution of radio operations. To facilitate the development of protocols based on Synchronous Transmissions, we developed Baloo, a flexible network stack design framework, which we present in this paper. We show that Baloo is flexible enough to implement a wide variety of network layer protocols, while introducing only limited memory and energy overhead. Most importantly Baloo makes Synchronous Transmissions accessible: The software is open source and well documented. We believe that Baloo will be an important enabler for a whole new class of Internet of Things applications leveraging the reliability, efficiency, and flexibility of Synchronous Transmissions.
