Hi,
I'am using Tmote Sky sensors and I need some help about LQI measurments.
To calculate LQI values I use Delta application with the trawler tool. I' have
some remarks.
with a maximum of power transmission (0dbm) and
distance of 3 meters, I found stronge values. However,
in the literature we speak about a value between 50 and 110
then I'
have these questions:
1)- why values upper than 110 and lower then 50 even under
perfect conditions.
2)- Why values are very large (few thousands)? However in
the standard 802.15.4 it is mentioned that the LQI value is an integer between
0 and 255 (on 8bits)
3)- Since the LQI is calculated when a packet is received, how about the packet
when the value is higher than 110 or especially
255. (is it droped, is a bad packet, is it normal to calculate to calculate a
very high value (thousands))?
4)- is there an other mean to calculate LQI values without using Trawler? is a
manner to debug this directly in a console?
5)- Are the values on the Trawler tool the true calculated values of LQI?.
thanks for your help in advance.
Denzel
