Why PowerTracker only shows output of Radio ON, TX and RX ?

[dmabm]

Hi All,

I loaded the "test simulation" in the RPL Attack Framework manually by opening cooja using "ant run" and I have few question as follows.

Q1. Why "PowerTracker" does not show "Radio INT" valus (%) ? But after executing same simulation with RPL Attack Framework, under the data folder in the "powertracker.csv" file I can see all the values of 4 parameters (Radio ON (%), Radio TX (%), RAadio RX (%), Radio INT (%).

Q2. What is actual meaning of INT (Interference) and how does it calculated ?

Q3. All 4 parameter values are generated as a presentation (%). what does it mean ? and How does is calculated ?

Q4. How to calculate the CPU time with these parameters?

Q5. That is the different between cooja "Power Tracer" and "Power Tracker" ? Since in build "Power Tracer" attached to the "Collect View" tool give me 4 different parameters such as "CPU, LPM, RX, TX" as output which I can understand very well.

Please give me some formulas or equations to calculate these parameter. So far I could not find good documentation to solve these problems

Thank you very much.

Q1, Q2 and Q3 are answered in #27.

I cannot answer it like this. Moreover, answering it would be doing the job in your place as, if I understand correctly, this is part of the implementation of your research, which is not a part of what is implemented yet in the framework. Your questions should be asked on a community forum of the Contiki project.

Hint: In order to solve your problem, you should have a close look at the source code of Contiki and Cooja. By analyzing the work flow, you will be able to understand which variables you have access to in order to derive metrics.
