# Wireless packets

## Destination

Destination information is required for the delivery of wireless packets. The destination needs to be aware of three elements

* Channel
* Application ID
* Destination address

The channel is the physical communication channel. 16 channels can be specified in total, from ch11 to 26. If the communication channel is different, it cannot be physically received. In order to communicate, the communication channels must first match.

It is necessary to be able to run more than one radio system on the same communication channel; if more than one system using TWENET is in the same location and may communicate on the same channel, they will be treated as separate networks according to their application ID.

Finally, if both the channel and the application ID match, communication is possible by setting the destination address appropriately. There are three types of destination address: short address (which can be set arbitrarily in the range of 12-bit values), long address (communication by individual identification address) and broadcast communication.

## Sender's address

TWELITE NET allows the sender's address to be sent as a short or long address.

## Maximum packet length

Wireless packets are based on the packet structure of the IEEE802.15.4 standard, but the maximum data size that can be transmitted is the amount of data that is not directly used by the user, such as destination data and headers used by TWENET.

By reducing the data size (saving payload, making active use of short addresses), the current-consuming radio transmission time can be reduced. Smaller packets are also relatively less likely to fail.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://sdk.twelite.info/en/twelite-net-api-expl/paketto.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
