RSSI to power in dbm conversion

[VijayU]

I am trying to implement a anchor based localization algorithm. Using known power for transmission of beacon messages from and computing received power from RSSI is the the objective. Having referred some literature for RSSI to dbm conversion, it says it actually depends on radio transceiver. Like for CC2420 power in dbm=rss - 45. But the same for some other transceiver might be different. I want to implement the same in castalia 3.2. I am using radioparameterfile as cc2420.txt. Does it mean that I can follow the equation of CC2420 for RSSI to dbm conversion. Kindly guide how to convert RSSI to power in dbm in Castalia.

In Castalia RSSI *is* expressed in dBm, no need to convert it.
