Inquiry about energy scan and next releases

[testter2]

Hello,

I have 2 quick inquires:-
1- In scenarios where Openthread needs to initiate energy scan from radio platform while a transmission is currently in progress, what is the recommended response? Specifically, should the radio return an OT_ERROR_BUSY response under such circumstances?

2- is it planned for specific date of next openthread releases ? if yes then when ?

Thanks in advance

OpenThread will only call otPlatRadioEnergyScan() when the radio is in the receive or sleep states. Calls to otPlatRadioEnergyScan() are expected to succeed when in the receive or sleep states.

openthread/src/core/mac/sub_mac.cpp

Lines 793 to 798 in c73829f

	case kStateReceive:
	case kStateSleep:
	#if OPENTHREAD_CONFIG_MAC_CSL_RECEIVER_ENABLE
	case kStateCslSample:
	#endif
	break;

2- is it planned for specific date of next openthread releases ? if yes then when ?

OpenThread releases are tied to commits used by the Thread Test Harness. We will create a new tag when the Thread Test Harness moves forward to a later commit.
