Hello,
I would like measure the signal strength in the absence of the incoming packets (ambient Noise and Source interference). While Reading from various post i understand that it is sufficient the sampling the RSSI register: is it correct ?

If is correct why does http://www.moteiv.com/community/Reading_RSSI_values_from_Tmote_Sky reccomend this ?


When a Tmote Sky receives a packet, it stores the signal strength of the incoming packet in the TOS_Msg structure. It is also possible to read the signal strength in the absence of the incoming packets. Such functionality is useful for estimating the noise floor of a particular channel and locating sources of interference such as 802.11 networks and microwave ovens. The default radio stack does not include such functionality; this document includes instructions for how to incorporate the needed functionality into the radio stack. You will need to modify two files CC2420ControlM.nc and CC2420RadioC.nc.

thank you very much
