If that is the second case, I'd have to implement some level of buffering in the APS_DataInd, because after wakeup my firmware usually does some radio-related task which results an incoming message into APS_DataInd.
Well, you will get to indications, what's the problem?
Well, for processing incoming messages, I'm using the SM. Currently I have a storage for only 1 message in the APS_DataInd. The message is stored until the SM fetches it.
Now I have the feeling, that if C has a pending message and it arrives into APS_DataInd (in ED), my app's SM is not yet there, so the pending message will be discarded on the ED side unless I implement some buffering in the APS_DataInd.
This is quite my own problem, just wanted to let you know.
What is a bit more interesting here, what happens, if C requested to send a new message to ED, while C already has 1 item in its buffer for ED?
Is this new message going to be discarded or it will replace the previous pending message?
Oh, and one more thing. This message buffering is implemented in the Coordinator and also in the Router, right? So if the ED's 'parent' is not the coordinator itself, it's router will store the message for it.
Thanks a lot!
