Hi Obinna,

I do not quite understand your question.

On one hand, IEEE 802.15.4 is a Medium Access Control protocol, i.e. it is
in charge of sharing the air (more specifically the RF spectrum) to enable
many users communicate in the same channel at almost the same time.

On the other hand, localization through RSSI means that you have to
estimate the distance between nodes using the RSSI measurement and a model
of the channel. Then you use some algorithm (like simple triangularization)
and find the position of the node that is transmitting the beacons. Note
that you need at least 3 anchor nodes receiving with known positions, and
another one which is transmitting the beacons.

Therefore rather than configuring the MAC you just have to take the RSSI
info from the packet.

Cheers!
Sergio
