50 msgsec is about what you can expect from a mica2 system.
See my report:  http://www.etantdonnes.com/Motes/report_mica2/
Transmission is simple CSMA, there is no queueing.

Hi,

I would like to use Mica2s to do an experiment that involves the sensors transmitting to each other at a high rate. The physical size of the experiment will be fairly small, so I was hoping to collect all the packets onto my computer using TOSBase (no routing, just straight up listening). I suspect that this is not possible due to a bottleneck at the base. I am having trouble finding the exact limit on the rate of packets that the mote with TOSBase can accept when using Mica2s. It looks like 53 packets/sec is the limit, could someone confirm this?

Also, could someone point me towards a guide on exactly how the transmission scheme works? Things like, how long does it take to transmit/decode a packet and if/what kind of queueing goes on at the receiving end.

Thanks,
Xing Zhou
