Hello everyone, I am using TOSSIM and PowerTOSSIM to determine how power adaptation affects the total energy consumption. I adapted the CntToLedsAndRfm application and got some results. I found that the difference between setting min (-20 dBm) and max TX (10 dBm) is only 4%. According to the CC1000 specification, the power required for sending a message at -20 dBm and 10 dBm are around 5 and 25 mA, respectively (400% of power can be saved). I think that I should get the simulation results which follow those in specification (that is 4 times, not only 4% power preservation).
I think that one of the main reasons is the motes are listening to their channel all the time. Significant amount of energy is consumed. So, how can I disable the radio listening? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Many thanks, Ittipong
