I might have sent it to a wrong address. My apologies if I'm flooding the list with another copy.

I did some RSSI measurements using click, and found that the RSSI values almost do not change if the transmission power exceeds a certain threshold. This seems to be contrary to what one would expect. Here are the experiment setup and results: I have two nodes, about 6-7 feet apart, one broadcasting and the other receiving. The sender broadcasts 1000 packets with 1 second interval. tx power (mW) 1 5 10 20 30 40 50 60 mean RSSI 23.314 23.331 25.686 32.149 35.778 35.758 35.733 35.693 Initially, there's only slight RSSI increase with txpower from 1mW to 5mW. Then it seems to be normal with txpower from 5mW to 30mW. But from 30mW on, RSSI almost does not change. I wonder if somebody out there did similar RSSI measurements using click. Is it possible that the increase from 30mW on does not take effect at all? Thank you! _______________________________________________ click mailing list [email protected] https://amsterdam.lcs.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/click
