To join the group we read a qr code with the preshared key and ParamsCodeEnum. that gets sent via bluetooth to the device. ParamsCodeEnum maps to a set of various radio params (regulatory region, center freq, SF, bandwidth, bitrate, power etc...) so all members of the mesh can have their radios set the same way. once in that group, we can talk between 254 node numbers. to get our node number (and announce our presence in the channel) we pick a random node number and broadcast as that node with WANT-NODENUM(my globally unique name). If anyone on the channel has seen someone _else_ using that name within the last 24 hrs(?) they reply with DENY-NODENUM. Note: we might receive multiple denies. Note: this allows others to speak up for some other node that might be saving battery right now. Any time we hear from another node (for any message type), we add that node number to the unpickable list. To dramatically decrease the odds a node number we request is already used by someone. If no one denies within TBD seconds, we assume that we have that node number. As long as we keep talking to folks at least once every 24 hrs, others should remember we have it. Once we have a node number we can broadcast POSITION-UPDATE(my globally unique name, lat, lon, alt, amt battery remaining). All receivers will use this to a) update the mapping of who is at what node nums, b) the time of last rx, c) position. If we haven't heard from that node in a while we reply to that node (only) with our current POSITION_UPDATE state - so that node (presumably just rejoined the network) can build a map of all participants. We will periodically broadcast POSITION-UPDATE as needed based on distance moved or a periodic minimum heartbeat. If user wants to send a text they can SEND_TEXT(dest user, short text message). Dest user is a node number, or 0xff for broadcast. */ /* Protobuf build instructions: protoc -I=. --java_out /tmp mesh.proto To generate Nanopb c code /home/kevinh/packages/nanopb-0.4.0-linux-x86/generator-bin/protoc --nanopb_out=/tmp -I=app/src/main/proto mesh.proto Nanopb binaries available here: https://jpa.kapsi.fi/nanopb/download/ use nanopb 0.4.0 */ // a gps position message Position { double latitude = 1; double longitude = 2; int32 altitude = 3; int32 battery_level = 4; // 1-100 (0 means not provided) /// This is usually not sent over the mesh (to save space), but it is sent from the phone so that the local device can set its RTC /// If it is sent over the mesh (because there are devices on the mesh without GPS), it will only be sent by devices which has a /// hardware GPS clock. uint32 time = 6; // seconds since 1970 } // a data message to forward to an external app (or possibly also be consumed internally in the case of CLEAR_TEXT and CLEAR_READACK message Data { enum Type { /// A message sent from a device outside of the mesh, in a form the mesh does not understand SIGNAL_OPAQUE = 0; // NOTE: This must be 0, because it is documented in IMeshService.aidl to be so /// a simple UTF-8 text message, which even the little micros in the mesh can understand and show on their screen /// eventually in some circumstances even signal might send messages in this form (see below) CLEAR_TEXT = 1; /// a message receive acknowledgement, sent in cleartext - allows radio to show user that a message has been read by the recipient, optional CLEAR_READACK = 2; /// Not yet used but eventually: /// SIGNAL_CLEAR_DATA = 3; // Unencrypted at the signal level, relying on the radio crypt only (to keep size small), but contains Signal control data radios don't care about (ie non text) } Type typ = 1; // required bytes payload = 2; // required } /* Broadcast when a newly powered mesh node wants to find a node num it can use // Sent from the phone over bluetooth to set the user id for the owner of this node. // Also sent from nodes to each other when a new node signs on (so all clients can have this info) The algorithm is as follows: * when a node starts up, it broadcasts their user and the normal flow is for all other nodes to reply with their User as well (so the new node can build its node db) * If a node ever receives a User (not just the first broadcast) message where the sender node number equals our node number, that indicates a collision has occurred and the following steps should happen: If the receiving node (that was already in the mesh)'s macaddr is LOWER than the new User who just tried to sign in: it gets to keep its nodenum.
