i think, actually we can't set our transmission range on each node, without changing or hack the code from ns. for now i just set my sensitivity node (RXthre, CST, etc). and set it manually just right before we create the nodes. I already make some simple simulation, for trying some kind of wireless sensor sims u can say . It has 25 node and have 3 kind of node. 1 node for the HOST (80 m range) 7 node for the MIDDLE (50 m range) 17 node for the END (30 m range) the data can travel just from the node that already on it's range.
the scenario is, the field is just like war field, so i have to send data packet from node 13 to 0 (END to HOST). i disabled the movement. just try it n give me some feedback about the range from each node. If you want more clearly about the range transmission, i draw the field and node deployment with some design software (CORELDRAW). -- jho
