[Tinyos-help] About Sensitivity and RSSI.

Hello everyone. In CC2420 data sheet. it specifies the high sensitivity (-95dBm). Received power in cc2420 can be drived from RSSI value. (P = RSSI + Offset (-45dB)) The minimum RSSI value was -49dBm in my experiment. Therefore received power -94dBm was the minimum power in Tmote Sky. Can i co

Yes, you can compare these powers directly. The sensitivity threshold is -95 dBm, and consequently CC2420 will not report RSSI below that threshold. The RSSI reported is the absolute measure of the energy in the incoming signal; you can access RSSI when there is no packet being received, and the

Thanks you for your advices. We want to derive a accurate SINR of incoming packet. Then, can i understand that received signal power in cc2420 data sheet means the SINR of incoming packet? It seems after we consider the offset value (-45dB) it provides the SINR from RSSI value. Moreover, if we st

In 5.1, which manufacturer(s) provided the nodes in the testbed? Mixing nodes from different manufacturers (ie, Berkeley Telos, Moteiv Tmote Sky, and/or TelosB clones from others) can be the cause of the "stray" node. On 2/7/07, Philip Levis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On Wed, 2007-02-07 at 13:09

We have a question on monitoring of environment by reading RSSI values continuously from RSSI register. We ran an experiment, where two nodes exchange messages between them and continuously read the RSSI values from both the received packet and RSSI register. We could not observe any change in RSS

Hi Madhu, Trisul, RSSI is not the same as the signal to noise ratio. Having a high RSSI value can also mean that in addition to the desired signal there is a high noise level, which could then actually lead to the packet being dropped (too much interference). So if you have a static link and
