If you try to use the tool with the 2nd example given on the tool's documentation webpage - a network of 49 nodes on a 100x100 football field - you will see that only one or two pairs of nodes will be able to communicate. All others will just stay disconnected from the network. If someone wants to give it a try, you'll just have to copy the 2nd example to a txt file and then: $ java net.tinyos.sim.LinkLayerModel <that_txt_file_you_just_created>. This will create 2 files: "linkgain.out" and "topology.out". If you open "linkgain.out" you'll see that the majority of the links will get gains in a -130 to -150 dBm range, which just won't work because according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DBm: "Typical range (-60 to -80 dBm) of wireless received signal power over a network (802.11 variants)". So -130 to -150 dBm is a much lower noise which sensors' transceivers won't be able to hear. Does the LinkLayerModel tool have some sort of bug? Or am I missing something here? Regards, Pedro Nunes
