RSSI in simulations


I'm about to implement an energy conserving procedure for our modems. In simulations the RSSI field of RxFrameNtf's is empty and I wonder what way to best populate it.

I'm running simulations with the half-duplex modem and the BasicAcousticChannel channel models. The SNR is computed by the acoustic channel and the RxFrameNtf is dispatched by the half-duplex modem right?


Solution

  • Yes, you are right that the SNR is not available in the HalfDuplexModem in the current version of UnetStack. There is an open issue to make it available so that rssi can be populated in the simulator, and we could prioritize it for the April 2021 release. If you need it before that, we could explore a beta release of the feature for your testing.
