4.4 Example 4: RepeatBAND Algorithm

  • Article

This example shows the values calculated by the RepeatBAND algorithm for a number of rounds under various scenarios.

In each example, Ta, or the time between blocks, is assumed to be Tb, or 300 (except in the first round, which starts immediately after transitioning into Pausing, where Ta is zero). N is also initialized to Nmax, or 10000, to simulate the responder transitioning into the Pausing state.

Refer to section 3.5.6.2 for the formulas used to calculate the new value of N in each round after Block Timer Expiry. Section 3.5.5.1.1.2 describes how the new value of N is used to determine whether or not the Hello timer is started.
