Hi, dear all: I used ns-2 to simulate the performance of zigbee network, for which I used p802_15_4mac and p802_15_4phy as the MAC and PHY of this network. As it was a indoor environment so I chose shadowing propagation model as the channel model for this simulation, but when I set the deviation value of shadowing model to be non-zero (let's say. e.g. db=4) then my simulation got a big problem: not all the nodes could associate into this zigbee network !! Needless to say they could start to communicate.
Is there anybody has worked with shadowing model as well as wpan 802.15.4 before? we can discuss about this problem if you would like to. Thanks !!
