In 5.1, which manufacturer(s) provided the nodes in the testbed?
Mixing nodes from different manufacturers (ie, Berkeley Telos, Moteiv
Tmote Sky, and/or TelosB clones from others) can be the cause of the
"stray" node.

The receive sensitivity varies over nodes; some are better than others.

goes into some of the details.
