how to get RSS (Received Signal Strength) ???

[MacLovin]

hello,

i have wifi AdHoc topology with 2 nodes and i wanna get the RSS (Received Signal Strength) value for the Wireless Ad Hoc network node !

Do you have any idea of a small example of code? 

Thanks

You can use the promiscuous trace source from the YansWifiPhy and log the value

• MonitorSnifferRx: Trace source simulating a wifi device in monitor mode sniffing all received frames

http://www.nsnam.org/doxygen/classns3_1_1_wifi_phy.html#a1d9675772e6dc29f2031b99e08682f12

  489 WifiPhy::NotifyMonitorSniffRx (Ptr<const Packet> packet, uint16_t channelFreqMhz, uint16_t channelNumber, uint32_t rate, bool isShortPreamble, double signalDbm, double noiseDbm)

490 {

491  m_phyMonitorSniffRxTrace (packet, channelFreqMhz, channelNumber, rate, isShortPreamble, signalDbm, noiseDbm);

492 }

493 

Examples for using trace sources are throughout the ns-3 code and also in the documentation
