I am wondering how to use the signal strength to compute the distance between the sender and the receiver. I think there should be some relationship between the RSSI and the transmission range. Is there any
formula about this or any tool can be used in TOSSIM?
Thank you.

Aside from the actual ad-hoc networking, I think this is (or was) the main
research topic for motes. I only have one ref for you but it may have
enough key words to get Google to cough up more:

As far as TOSSIM is concerned I don
hi.rssi and link physical distance are related in a complex way. It depends on the absortion of microwaves in the enviroment.

strength are implemented, so simul
