No, what Jinkyu tires to do is to evaluate the precision of FTSP over
a whole network. One possibility would be to have your beacon node use
a power amplifier like this one:

http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/print/cc2591.html

This would extend the range of your beacon compared to other nodes,
increasing the probability that more nodes will hear it. However,
depending on your distances and the accuracies that you look at, you
might want to incorporate time of flight into your precision
measurements.

Cheers,

Thomas
