The Dual-Mode Adaptive Medium Access Control protocol (DMAMAC), designed 
to have two operational modes to cater for the two process control states. 
The protocol has a transient mode that supports the transient state, and a
steady mode to support the steady state. The transient mode has data 
communication at a higher rate relative to the steady state. We designed
DMAMAC for applications where steady state dominates the process operation.

@contentDescription
======================================================================
Source files for Node: DMAMAC.cc and DMAMAC.h
Source files for Sink: DMAMACSink.cc and DMAMACSink.h
DMAMACSink inherits common functions from DMAMAC.

Different packets are defined in /Packets folder.
Namely: DMAMACSinkPkt, DMAMACPkt, AlertPkt

Network descriptors file (NED files) are in the NED folder.
DMAMACNetwork.ned describes the entire network (also takes input from confugration files)
DMAMAC.ned for the MAC file, 
DMAMACNode.ned describes nodes running on DMAMAC,
and DMAMACNodeNic.ned for the DMAMAC node interface cards.
Similarly for sink (Network descriptor is for the entire network)
DMAMACSink.ned, DMAMACSinkNic.ned, DMAMACSinkNode.ned

Configuration files: omnetpp25Hybrid.ini, omnetpp25Tdma.ini
For all configurations.
For network lifetime, decrease battery capacity and increase simulation time (3000s)

XML files are given as input for various configurations check readme for XML.
The results produced from the simulation are stored in /Results folder
Currently only AllConfig results are given away.
Check readme in the AllConfig folder.
Scripts are placed in the folder to generate statistical data from the
produced results.
