Function otPlatRadioSetRxOnWhenIdle

pub unsafe extern "C" fn otPlatRadioSetRxOnWhenIdle(
    aInstance: *mut otInstance,
    aEnable: bool,
)

Sets the rx-on-when-idle state to the radio platform.

There are a few situations that the radio can enter sleep state if the device is in rx-off-when-idle state but it’s hard and costly for the SubMac to identify these situations and instruct the radio to enter sleep:

• Finalization of a regular frame reception task, provided that:
  • The frame is received without errors and passes the filtering and it’s not an spurious ACK.
  • ACK is not requested or transmission of ACK is not possible due to internal conditions.
• Finalization of a frame transmission or transmission of an ACK frame, when ACK is not requested in the transmitted frame.
• Finalization of the reception operation of a requested ACK due to:
  • ACK timeout expiration.
  • Reception of an invalid ACK or not an ACK frame.
  • Reception of the proper ACK, unless the transmitted frame was a Data Request Command and the frame pending bit on the received ACK is set to true. In this case the radio platform implementation SHOULD keep the receiver on until a determined timeout which triggers an idle period start.OPENTHREAD_CONFIG_MAC_DATA_POLL_TIMEOUT can be taken as a reference for this.
• Finalization of a stand alone CCA task.
• Finalization of a CCA operation with busy result during CSMA/CA procedure.
• Finalization of an Energy Detection task.
• Finalization of a radio reception window scheduled with otPlatRadioReceiveAt.

If a platform supports OT_RADIO_CAPS_RX_ON_WHEN_IDLE it must also support OT_RADIO_CAPS_CSMA_BACKOFF and handle idle periods after CCA as described above.

@param[in] aInstance The OpenThread instance structure. @param[in] aEnable TRUE to keep radio in Receive state, FALSE to put to Sleep state during idle periods.
