Broadcast frame on MAC level
Posted: Fri Feb 19, 2016 11:24 amHi,
I'm trying to implement broadcast transmission of simple data, i.e. I want to have one ESP8266 module, which is sending broadcast packet periodically and any other ESP8266 in the range can receive it (let's say "bypassing" network layer).
First thought was to use beacon frame for this purpose and put my simple data as SSID, but I think it's rather rough and inelegant.
On the other hand I can't come up with any other idea how to do that, could you please suggest what would be the best way to achieve this?
I will be very thankful for any suggestions.
