We have a question on monitoring of environment by reading RSSI values continuously from RSSI register. We ran an experiment, where two nodes exchange messages between them and continuously read the RSSI values from both the received packet and RSSI register. We could not observe any change in RSSI values, when there is packet loss between motes. Sometimes, there was not much variation in the RSSI values, but still there was some packet-loss. RSSI Values obtained by us are like this:
-99,-99,-99,-99,-98,-65,-56,-86,-99,-99,-98.......... According to our understanding, as the sensitivity threshold of CC2420 radio is -95dBm, mote should lose packets, if the RSSI is less than -95dBm ( i.e, -96dBm,-97dBm,...........). But, in reality though the RSSI values are less than the -95dBm, packets are being received by the receiver successfully and sometimes though the RSSI value is something like -76dBm, the packets are getting lost. We couldnot understand why the RSSI register values are less than -95dBm even when we are receiving packets? Any suggestions on how to estimate the channel quality using the RSSI values?

Those are all Berkeley TelosB nodes; they are the Omega testbed. Section 6.1 reports the variations across the mirage testbed of micaz nodes. We have data for telosb's from a variety of manufacturers (moteiv, crossbow, berkeley, etc.); I'll ask the student involved to take a look at the moteiv numbers.
