ESP-WIFI-MESH 编程模型

软件栈

ESP-WIFI-MESH 软件栈基于 Wi-Fi 驱动程序和 FreeRTOS 构建，某些情况下（如根节点）也会使用 LwIP 软件栈。下图展示了 ESP-WIFI-MESH 软件栈。

ESP-WIFI-MESH 软件栈

ESP-WIFI-MESH 软件栈

系统事件

应用程序可通过 ESP-WIFI-MESH 事件 与 ESP-WIFI-MESH 交互。由于 ESP-WIFI-MESH 构建在 Wi-Fi 软件栈之上，因此也可以通过 Wi-Fi 事件任务 与 Wi-Fi 驱动程序进行交互。下图展示了 ESP-WIFI-MESH 应用程序中各种系统事件的接口。

ESP-WIFI-MESH 系统事件交付

ESP-WIFI-MESH 系统事件交付

mesh_event_id_t 定义了所有可能的 ESP-WIFI-MESH 事件，并且可以指示父节点和子节点的连接或断开等事件。应用程序如需使用 ESP-WIFI-MESH 事件，则必须通过 esp_event_handler_register() 将 Mesh 事件处理程序 注册在默认事件任务中。注册完成后，ESP-WIFI-MESH 事件将包含与应用程序所有相关事件相关的处理程序。

Mesh 事件的典型应用场景包括：使用 MESH_EVENT_PARENT_CONNECTED 和 MESH_EVENT_CHILD_CONNECTED 事件来指示节点何时可以分别开始传输上行和下行的数据。同样，也可以使用 IP_EVENT_STA_GOT_IP 和 IP_EVENT_STA_LOST_IP 事件来指示根节点何时可以向外部 IP 网络传输数据。

警告

在自组网模式下使用 ESP-WIFI-MESH 时，用户必须确保不得调用 Wi-Fi API。原因在于：自组网模式将在内部调用 Wi-Fi API 实现连接/断开/扫描等操作。 此时，如果外部应用程序调用 Wi-Fi API（包括来自回调函数和 Wi-Fi 事件处理程序的调用）都可能会干扰 ESP-WIFI-MESH 的自组网行为。因此，用户不应该在 esp_mesh_start() 和 esp_mesh_stop() 之间调用 Wi-Fi API。

LwIP & ESP-WIFI-MESH

应用程序无需通过 LwIP 层便可直接访问 ESP-WIFI-MESH 软件栈，LwIP 层仅在根节点和外部 IP 网络的数据发送与接收时会用到。但是，由于每个节点都有可能成为根节点（由于自动根节点选择机制的存在），每个节点仍必须初始化 LwIP 软件栈。

可成为根节点的每个节点都需要通过调用 esp_netif_init() 来初始化 LwIP 软件栈。为了防止非根节点访问 LwIP，应用程序不应使用 esp_netif API 创建或注册任何网络接口。

ESP-WIFI-MESH 的根节点必须与路由器连接。因此，当一个节点成为根节点时，该节点对应的处理程序必须启动 DHCP 客户端服务并立即获取 IP 地址。这样做将允许其他节点开始向/从外部 IP 网络发送/接收数据包。如果使用静态 IP 设置，则不需要执行此步骤。

编写 ESP-WIFI-MESH 应用程序

ESP-WIFI-MESH 在正常启动前必须先初始化 LwIP 和 Wi-Fi 软件栈。下方代码展示了 ESP-WIFI-MESH 在开始自身初始化前必须完成的步骤。

ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_netif_init());

/* 事件初始化 */
ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_event_loop_create_default());

/* Wi-Fi 初始化 */
wifi_init_config_t config = WIFI_INIT_CONFIG_DEFAULT();
ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_wifi_init(&config));
/* 注册 IP 事件处理程序 */
ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_event_handler_register(IP_EVENT, IP_EVENT_STA_GOT_IP, &ip_event_handler, NULL));
ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_wifi_set_storage(WIFI_STORAGE_FLASH));
ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_wifi_start());

在完成 LwIP 和 Wi-Fi 的初始化后，需完成以下三个步骤以启动并运行 ESP-WIFI-MESH。

  1. 初始化 Mesh

  2. 配置 ESP-WIFI-MESH 网络

  3. 启动 Mesh

初始化 Mesh

下方代码片段展示如何初始化 ESP-WIFI-MESH。

/* Mesh 初始化 */
ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_mesh_init());
/* 注册 mesh 事件处理程序 */
ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_event_handler_register(MESH_EVENT, ESP_EVENT_ANY_ID, &mesh_event_handler, NULL));

配置 ESP-WIFI-MESH 网络

ESP-WIFI-MESH 可通过 esp_mesh_set_config() 进行配置，并使用 mesh_cfg_t 结构体传递参数。该结构体包含以下 ESP-WIFI-MESH 的配置参数：

参数

描述

Channel（信道）

1 到 14 信道

Mesh ID

ESP-WIFI-MESH 网络的 ID，见 mesh_addr_t。

Router（路由器）

路由器配置，见 mesh_router_t。

Mesh AP

Mesh AP 配置，见 mesh_ap_cfg_t

Crypto Functions（加密函数）

Mesh IE 的加密函数，见 mesh_crypto_funcs_t。

下方代码片段展示如何配置 ESP-WIFI-MESH。

/* 默认启用 MESH IE 加密 */
mesh_cfg_t cfg = MESH_INIT_CONFIG_DEFAULT();
/* Mesh ID */
memcpy((uint8_t *) &cfg.mesh_id, MESH_ID, 6);
/* 信道（需与路由器信道匹配）*/
cfg.channel = CONFIG_MESH_CHANNEL;
/* 路由器 */
cfg.router.ssid_len = strlen(CONFIG_MESH_ROUTER_SSID);
memcpy((uint8_t *) &cfg.router.ssid, CONFIG_MESH_ROUTER_SSID, cfg.router.ssid_len);
memcpy((uint8_t *) &cfg.router.password, CONFIG_MESH_ROUTER_PASSWD,
    strlen(CONFIG_MESH_ROUTER_PASSWD));
/* Mesh softAP */
cfg.mesh_ap.max_connection = CONFIG_MESH_AP_CONNECTIONS;
memcpy((uint8_t *) &cfg.mesh_ap.password, CONFIG_MESH_AP_PASSWD,
    strlen(CONFIG_MESH_AP_PASSWD));
ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_mesh_set_config(&cfg));

启动 Mesh

下方代码片段展示如何启动 ESP-WIFI-MESH。

/* 启动 Mesh */
ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_mesh_start());

启动 ESP-WIFI-MESH 后，应用程序应检查 ESP-WIFI-MESH 事件，以确定它是何时连接到网络的。连接后，应用程序可使用 esp_mesh_send() 和 esp_mesh_recv() 在 ESP-WIFI-MESH 网络中发送、接收数据包。

自组网

自组网是 ESP-WIFI-MESH 的功能之一，允许节点自动扫描/选择/连接/重新连接到其他节点和路由器。此功能允许 ESP-WIFI-MESH 网络具有很高的自主性，可适应变化的动态网络拓扑结构和环境。启用自组网功能后，ESP-WIFI-MESH 网络中的节点能够自主完成以下操作：

  • 选择或选举根节点（见 建立网络 中的 自动根节点选择）

  • 选择首选的父节点（见 建立网络 中的 父节点选择）

  • 网络断开时自动重新连接（见 管理网络 中的 中间父节点失败）

启用自组网功能后，ESP-WIFI-MESH 软件栈将内部调用 Wi-Fi API。因此，在启用自组网功能时，应用层不得调用 Wi-Fi API，否则会干扰 ESP-WIFI-MESH 的工作。

开关自组网

应用程序可以在运行时通过调用 esp_mesh_set_self_organized() 函数，启用或禁用自组网功能。该函数具有以下两个参数：

  • bool enable 指定启用或禁用自组网功能。

  • bool select_parent 指定在启用自组网功能时是否应选择新的父节点。根据节点类型和节点当前状态，选择新的父节点具有不同的作用。在禁用自组网功能时，此参数不使用。

禁用自组网

下方代码片段展示了如何禁用自组网功能。

//禁用自组网
esp_mesh_set_self_organized(false, false);

ESP-WIFI-MESH 将在禁用自组网时尝试维护节点的当前 Wi-Fi 状态。

  • 如果节点先前已连接到其他节点，则将保持连接。

  • 如果节点先前已断开连接并且正在扫描父节点或路由器，则将停止扫描。

  • 如果节点以前尝试重新连接到父节点或路由器，则将停止重新连接。

启用自组网

ESP-WIFI-MESH 将尝试在启用自组网时保持节点的当前 Wi-Fi 状态。但是，根据节点类型以及是否选择了新的父节点，节点的 Wi-Fi 状态可能会发生变化。下表显示了启用自组网的效果。

是否选择父节点

是否为根结点

作用

N

N

已连接到父节点的节点将保持连接。

之前扫描父节点的节点将停止扫描。调用 esp_mesh_connect() 重新启动。

Y

已连接到路由器的根节点将保持连接。

从路由器断开的根结点需调用 esp_mesh_connect() 进行重连。

Y

N

没有父节点的节点将自动选择首选父节点并连接。

已连接到父节点的节点将断开连接，重新选择首选父节点并进行重连。

Y

根结点在连接至父节点前必须放弃“根结点”的角色。因此，根节点将断开与路由器和所有子节点的连接，选择首选父节点并进行连接。

下方代码片段展示了如何启用自组网功能。

//启用自组网，并选择一个新的父节点
esp_mesh_set_self_organized(true, true);

...

//启用自组网并手动重新连接
esp_mesh_set_self_organized(true, false);
esp_mesh_connect();

调用 Wi-Fi API

在有些情况下，应用程序可能希望在使用 ESP-WIFI-MESH 期间调用 Wi-Fi API。例如，应用程序可能需要手动扫描邻近的接入点 (AP)。但在应用程序调用任何 Wi-Fi API 之前，必须先禁用自组网。 否则，ESP-WIFI-MESH 软件栈可能会同时调用 Wi-Fi API，进而影响应用程序的正常调用。

应用程序不应在 esp_mesh_set_self_organized() 之间调用 Wi-Fi API。下方代码片段展示了应用程序如何在 ESP-WIFI-MESH 运行期间安全地调用 esp_wifi_scan_start()。

//禁用自组网
esp_mesh_set_self_organized(0, 0);

//停止任何正在进行的扫描
esp_wifi_scan_stop();
//手动启动扫描运行完成时自动停止
esp_wifi_scan_start();

//进程扫描结果

...

//如果仍为连接状态，则重新启用自组网
esp_mesh_set_self_organized(1, 0);

...

//如果不为根节点且未连接，则重新启用自组网
esp_mesh_set_self_organized(1, 1);

...

//如果为根节点且未连接，则重新启用
esp_mesh_set_self_organized(1, 0);  //不选择新的父节点
esp_mesh_connect();                 //手动重新连接到路由器

esp_err_t esp_mesh_send(const mesh_addr_t *to, const mesh_data_t *data, int flag, const mesh_opt_t opt[], int opt_count)

Send a packet over the mesh network.

  • Send a packet to any device in the mesh network.

  • Send a packet to external IP network.

Attention

This API is not reentrant.

参数

  • to -- [in] the address of the final destination of the packet

    • If the packet is to the root, set this parameter to NULL.

    • If the packet is to an external IP network, set this parameter to the IPv4:PORT combination. This packet will be delivered to the root firstly, then users need to call esp_mesh_recv_toDS() on the root node to forward this packet to the final IP server address.

  • data -- [in] pointer to a sending mesh packet

    • Field size should not exceed MESH_MPS. Note that the size of one mesh packet should not exceed MESH_MTU.

    • Field proto should be set to data protocol in use (default is MESH_PROTO_BIN for binary).

    • Field tos should be set to transmission tos (type of service) in use (default is MESH_TOS_P2P for point-to-point reliable).

      • If the packet is to the root, MESH_TOS_P2P must be set to ensure reliable transmission.

      • As long as the MESH_TOS_P2P is set, the API is blocking, even if the flag is set with MESH_DATA_NONBLOCK.

      • As long as the MESH_TOS_DEF is set, the API is non-blocking.

  • flag -- [in] bitmap for data sent

    • Flag is at least one of the three MESH_DATA_P2P/MESH_DATA_FROMDS/MESH_DATA_TODS, which represents the direction of packet sending.

    • Speed up the route search

      • If the packet is to an internal device, MESH_DATA_P2P should be set.

      • If the packet is to the root ("to" parameter isn't NULL) or to external IP network, MESH_DATA_TODS should be set.

      • If the packet is from the root to an internal device, MESH_DATA_FROMDS should be set.

    • Specify whether this API is blocking or non-blocking, blocking by default.

    • In the situation of the root change, MESH_DATA_DROP identifies this packet can be dropped by the new root for upstream data to external IP network, we try our best to avoid data loss caused by the root change, but there is a risk that the new root is running out of memory because most of memory is occupied by the pending data which isn't read out in time by esp_mesh_recv_toDS().

      Generally, we suggest esp_mesh_recv_toDS() is called after a connection with IP network is created. Thus data outgoing to external IP network via socket is just from reading esp_mesh_recv_toDS() which avoids unnecessary memory copy.

  • opt -- [in] options

    • In case of sending a packet to a certain group, MESH_OPT_SEND_GROUP is a good choice. In this option, the value field should be set to the target receiver addresses in this group.

    • Root sends a packet to an internal device, this packet is from external IP network in case the receiver device responds this packet, MESH_OPT_RECV_DS_ADDR is required to attach the target DS address.

  • opt_count -- [in] option count

    • Currently, this API only takes one option, so opt_count is only supported to be 1.

返回

  • ESP_OK

  • ESP_FAIL

  • ESP_ERR_MESH_ARGUMENT

  • ESP_ERR_MESH_NOT_START

  • ESP_ERR_MESH_DISCONNECTED

  • ESP_ERR_MESH_OPT_UNKNOWN

  • ESP_ERR_MESH_EXCEED_MTU

  • ESP_ERR_MESH_NO_MEMORY

  • ESP_ERR_MESH_TIMEOUT

  • ESP_ERR_MESH_QUEUE_FULL

  • ESP_ERR_MESH_NO_ROUTE_FOUND

  • ESP_ERR_MESH_DISCARD

esp_err_t esp_mesh_send_block_time(uint32_t time_ms)

Set blocking time of esp_mesh_send()

  • Suggest to set the blocking time to at least 5s when the environment is poor. Otherwise, esp_mesh_send() may timeout frequently.

Attention

This API shall be called before mesh is started.

参数

time_ms -- [in] blocking time of esp_mesh_send(), unit:ms

返回

  • ESP_OK

esp_err_t esp_mesh_recv(mesh_addr_t *from, mesh_data_t *data, int timeout_ms, int *flag, mesh_opt_t opt[], int opt_count)

Receive a packet targeted to self over the mesh network.

flag could be MESH_DATA_FROMDS or MESH_DATA_TODS.

Attention

Mesh RX queue should be checked regularly to avoid running out of memory.

  • Use esp_mesh_get_rx_pending() to check the number of packets available in the queue waiting to be received by applications.

参数

  • from -- [out] the address of the original source of the packet

  • data -- [out] pointer to the received mesh packet

    • Field proto is the data protocol in use. Should follow it to parse the received data.

    • Field tos is the transmission tos (type of service) in use.

  • timeout_ms -- [in] wait time if a packet isn't immediately available (0:no wait, portMAX_DELAY:wait forever)

  • flag -- [out] bitmap for data received

    • MESH_DATA_FROMDS represents data from external IP network

    • MESH_DATA_TODS represents data directed upward within the mesh network

  • opt -- [out] options desired to receive

    • MESH_OPT_RECV_DS_ADDR attaches the DS address

  • opt_count -- [in] option count desired to receive

    • Currently, this API only takes one option, so opt_count is only supported to be 1.

返回

  • ESP_OK

  • ESP_ERR_MESH_ARGUMENT

  • ESP_ERR_MESH_NOT_START

  • ESP_ERR_MESH_TIMEOUT

  • ESP_ERR_MESH_DISCARD

esp_err_t esp_mesh_recv_toDS(mesh_addr_t *from, mesh_addr_t *to, mesh_data_t *data, int timeout_ms, int *flag, mesh_opt_t opt[], int opt_count)

Receive a packet targeted to external IP network.

  • Root uses this API to receive packets destined to external IP network

  • Root forwards the received packets to the final destination via socket.

  • If no socket connection is ready to send out the received packets and this esp_mesh_recv_toDS() hasn't been called by applications, packets from the whole mesh network will be pending in toDS queue.

Use esp_mesh_get_rx_pending() to check the number of packets available in the queue waiting to be received by applications in case of running out of memory in the root.

Using esp_mesh_set_xon_qsize() users may configure the RX queue size, default:32. If this size is too large, and esp_mesh_recv_toDS() isn't called in time, there is a risk that a great deal of memory is occupied by the pending packets. If this size is too small, it will impact the efficiency on upstream. How to decide this value depends on the specific application scenarios.

flag could be MESH_DATA_TODS.

Attention

This API is only called by the root.

参数

  • from -- [out] the address of the original source of the packet

  • to -- [out] the address contains remote IP address and port (IPv4:PORT)

  • data -- [out] pointer to the received packet

    • Contain the protocol and applications should follow it to parse the data.

  • timeout_ms -- [in] wait time if a packet isn't immediately available (0:no wait, portMAX_DELAY:wait forever)

  • flag -- [out] bitmap for data received

    • MESH_DATA_TODS represents the received data target to external IP network. Root shall forward this data to external IP network via the association with router.

  • opt -- [out] options desired to receive

  • opt_count -- [in] option count desired to receive

返回

  • ESP_OK

  • ESP_ERR_MESH_ARGUMENT

  • ESP_ERR_MESH_NOT_START

  • ESP_ERR_MESH_TIMEOUT

  • ESP_ERR_MESH_DISCARD

  • ESP_ERR_MESH_RECV_RELEASE

esp_err_t esp_mesh_set_config(const mesh_cfg_t *config)

Set mesh stack configuration.

  • Use MESH_INIT_CONFIG_DEFAULT() to initialize the default values, mesh IE is encrypted by default.

  • Mesh network is established on a fixed channel (1-14).

  • Mesh event callback is mandatory.

  • Mesh ID is an identifier of an MBSS. Nodes with the same mesh ID can communicate with each other.

  • Regarding to the router configuration, if the router is hidden, BSSID field is mandatory.

If BSSID field isn't set and there exists more than one router with same SSID, there is a risk that more roots than one connected with different BSSID will appear. It means more than one mesh network is established with the same mesh ID.

Root conflict function could eliminate redundant roots connected with the same BSSID, but couldn't handle roots connected with different BSSID. Because users might have such requirements of setting up routers with same SSID for the future replacement. But in that case, if the above situations happen, please make sure applications implement forward functions on the root to guarantee devices in different mesh networks can communicate with each other. max_connection of mesh softAP is limited by the max number of Wi-Fi softAP supported (max:10).

Set the network duty cycle, duration and rule.

  • The range of nwk_duty values is 1 to 100. The default value is 10.

  • nwk_duty is the network duty cycle the entire network or the up-link path will use. A device that successfully sets the nwk_duty is known as a NWK-DUTY-MASTER.

  • duration_mins specifies how long the specified nwk_duty will be used. Once duration_mins expires, the root will take over as the NWK-DUTY-MASTER. If an existing NWK-DUTY-MASTER leaves the network, the root will take over as the NWK-DUTY-MASTER again.

  • duration_mins = (-1) represents nwk_duty will be used until a new NWK-DUTY-MASTER with a different nwk_duty appears.

  • Only the root can set duration_mins to (-1).

  • If applied_rule is set to MESH_PS_NETWORK_DUTY_APPLIED_ENTIRE, the nwk_duty will be used by the entire network.

  • If applied_rule is set to MESH_PS_NETWORK_DUTY_APPLIED_UPLINK, the nwk_duty will only be used by the up-link path nodes.

  • The root does not accept MESH_PS_NETWORK_DUTY_APPLIED_UPLINK.

  • A nwk_duty with duration_mins(-1) set by the root is the default network duty cycle used by the entire network.

Attention

This API can be called at any time after mesh is started.

  • In self-organized network, if this API is called before mesh is started in all devices, (1)nwk_duty shall be set to the same value for all devices; (2)duration_mins shall be set to (-1); (3)applied_rule shall be set to MESH_PS_NETWORK_DUTY_APPLIED_ENTIRE; after the voted root appears, the root will become the NWK-DUTY-MASTER and broadcast the nwk_duty and its identity of NWK-DUTY-MASTER.

  • If the root is specified (FIXED-ROOT), call this API in the root to provide a default nwk_duty for the entire network.

  • After joins the network, any device can call this API to change the nwk_duty, duration_mins or applied_rule.

  • If duty type is set to MESH_PS_DEVICE_DUTY_REQUEST, the running active duty cycle is nwk_duty provided by the network.

  • If duty type is set to MESH_PS_DEVICE_DUTY_DEMAND, the running active duty cycle is dev_duty specified by the users.

  • In a mesh network, devices are typically working with a certain duty-cycle (transmitting, receiving and sleep) to reduce the power consumption. The running active duty cycle decides the amount of awake time within a beacon interval. At each start of beacon interval, all devices wake up, broadcast beacons, and transmit packets if they do have pending packets for their parents or for their children. Note that Low-duty-cycle means devices may not be active in most of the time, the latency of data transmission might be greater.
