Yes, there is *some* relation: they're positively correlated.  But on
the CC2420 radio, LQI shows significant variance for a given packet
reception rate (PRR).  You may be much better off using RSSI, which
shows far less variance for a given PRR.

You can use (logistic) regression to determine the relationship the variables:
- send a lot of packets between a lot of motes
- compute the PRR as the fraction of packets received over the number
sent for each tx, rx link pair
- note the RSSI and LQI values
- Plot (and regress) PRR vs RSSI and PRR vs LQI

Hope that helps.

Hi all,

Can anybody tell me if there is some relation between the link quality
indiactor (LQI) and the probability of packet loss, between two motes? Or is
there some method to find out the relation?

Thanks,
Venkat.
