How can I obtain the received signal strength value of a message in ns2? I am using the AODV protocol. If anybody knows this, please provide me the code.
I am working on an energy aware routing protocol for wireless sensor networks. In my work, I need the RSSI value of receiving message for initializing some values. Since I am using ns2 for simulating my protocol, I need simulated RSSI value. Do you know how to find it in ns2 cc files?
ns-2 uses 'receiving power' instead of RSSI.
If you want to obtain the receiving power 'RxPr' of an incoming packet 'p', you can use the following statement,
p->txinfo_.RxPr
This works in mac802_11.cc. I am not sure if it works in AODV. You shall give it a try.
RSSI is the receiving power and you can recorded from receiving function in the file mac802_11.cc. You can read it from any where in the upper layer the command is
p->txinfo_.RxPr
