Well, I am running a simulation in which I wanted to obtain a real environment, thus I tried to calculate how many joules I have in a Duracell AA MN1500 battery. In the end I got 30779.754 (doubled the result as I use two batteries). So: 40 $ns node-config \ 41 -energyModel EnergyModel \ 42 -initialEnergy 30779.754
Ok, but first of all: I ain't sure about the reliability of this result, and second of all: After sending 2200 messages, each of them with a Pt_ that covers like 260m, my energy remaining is 30778.725489. After that I still would be able to send more ~30778*2200 msgs, what seems incredibly wrong. (To be more precise, these are the values of Pt_ and Pt_consume_: Pt_ = 3.16227e-3 Pt_consume_ = 76.2e-3) That way, I do not know whether my initialEnergy has a too high value due to incorrect math, or if there is something wrong with the energy consumption. Anyone know a reasonable value for initialEnergy, considering that I want to simulate two AA alkaline batteries? Or if there could be anything wrong in my energy consumption?
