mixim: get RSSI in MAC layer in BMAC protocol

[Megh Piyon]

Hi,

I am using mixim 2.3 and OMNeT++ 4.6. I would like to get the RSSI value in the mac layer, which I cannot do. Can someone please help me regarding this?  I am not using the new INET because all my codes are developed in mixim.

After a detailed search in the forum, I found two links that gives some information regarding this. Still I cannot solve this problem.

my answer was incomplete... if u're working in the netw layer u can 
use MacToNetwControlInfo to get rssi in mixim. 

void NetwLayer::handleLowerMsg(cMessage* msg) 
{ 
    WsnPkt *m = check_and_cast<WsnPkt *>(msg); 

    double rssi = static_cast<MacToNetwControlInfo*>(m- 
>getControlInfo())->getRSSI(); 
} 

Link2:   User Khan wrote on 2/21/11 

cPacket *csma::decapsMsg(MacPkt * macPkt) {

cPacket * msg = macPkt->decapsulate();

MacToNetwControlInfo* info = new MacToNetwControlInfo(macPkt->getSrcAddr());

msg->setControlInfo(info);

PhyToMacControlInfo* cinfo = static_cast<PhyToMacControlInfo*> (macPkt->getControlInfo());

const DeciderResult802154Narrow* result = static_cast<const DeciderResult802154Narrow*> (cinfo->getDeciderResult());

ev<<result->getRSSI()<<"\n";

return msg;

}

It is very urgent for me. Please someone help me. Thanks in advance.
