How to change the transmission power at runtime in Veins?

[Guilherme Maia]

Hello everyone,

I would like to know how to change the transmission power (txPower) at runtime from the application layer in Veins. For instance, consider an application in which a vehicle dynamically adapts its transmission power according to the number of vehicles in its neighborhood.

Good idea!

Good idea! Veins 4.4 allows to attach an OMNeT++ ControlInfo class to
frames sent to the MAC layer to set modulation and coding scheme or
transmit power. See the source code of the MAC layer, particularly line
193
<https://github.com/sommer/veins/blob/veins-4.4/src/veins/modules/mac/ieee80211p/Mac1609_4.cc#L193>
for how this is achieved.

Hello, I know this is an old thread, but I want to get more advanced with veins, I cannot find any tutorials on the web except the one they have after the installation, anything you can include that would be great. Thank you.
