Hi All,

I am trying to emulate a simple network of two nodes - a ground node, and
another mobile node which, from an elevation, moves up from the ground node
at around 45 degrees for a certain duration, makes a circle with a specific
radius at that point, and comes back to the same point where it started.
The idea is to set up opportunistic contact between the two nodes. For the
purpose of simplicity, I have made a IEEE802.11bg wifi connectivity between
the two nodes, with the default values given by CORE (txpower of 0 dbm and
frequency of 2.347 GHz). I use EMANE events to trigger the above mobility.
For the mobility model, I have used MNM tools to generate an EEL file which
contains GPS location and pathloss events per second for a duration of
10000 seconds.


The problem is the following: While the location events are duly recognized
by CORE, I suspect that the pathloss events are not being recognized
properly. Going by a previous post on the EMANE users group, I have
attached the output of the following emane shell commands: 1) emanesh
localhost get stat '*' all (stats.txt) 2) emanesh localhost get table '*'
all (tables.txt); 3) emanesh localhost get config '*' all (config.txt).
>From the table output, I see no indication of pathloss events received in
the mobile node, against the ForwardPathLoss and the ReversePathLoss tables
(while emaneeventservice executed with debug level info reports sending
pathloss message).

Also, a visual indicator (I presume) for pathloss at some point in the
motion should be packet loss. I have empirically determined that
connectivity between nodes for the above values should stop roughly around
1500-2000 metres between them (assuming all default values for IEE802.11bg
for EMANE in CORE network emulator). I observe that even beyond this point,
there is no packetloss (as pathloss should have caused), and neither does
visual adjacency in CORE disappear/turn grey.

Appreciate any assistance that I may get from the forum.

Thanks,
Vijay
