Re: [Tinyos-help] Increasing a node's transmit radius under TOSSIM

Reply pertains to TOSSIM T2:

There is no easy way to do with the TOSSIM T2.
That is because the link-gain information is applied from a model
(which is generally assumed to be pre-created).
However, it *is* possible to rebuild the link-gain model on-the-fly
and therefore simulate such changes in transmission power.
I have a mostly untested Python model generator that uses the USC
generator formula (however, it does not apply noise generation or
other advanced features).
Just keep in mind that a simulation is only as accurate as...

 Hi there

 I am working on some code which discovers other nodes, in fact all nodes
 discover what is around them. It is possible that some nodes are hidden,
 that is they hear from others but can't communicate back. All of this is in
 the TOSSIM environment.

 Is it possible, that when a Node determines that another node is a hidden /
 asymmetric node, it can tell said node to increase its radio transmit radius
 and so, potentially, bring it out of its hidden status? From reading through
 the tutorials and looking at code I realise you could do this by changing
 the gain relationship between the two, or more, nodes, which would have to
 completed at the Python level. However I can't see how a nodes transmit
 radius can be increased, is there a command to complete this?

 Also, a second question, if I may, is it possible to ascertain the x / y
 co-ordinates of a node in a topology?

 Thank you.
