How to calcutae the receiving power of a packet?

Hi,

I am unable to locate the code related to "calculation of receivng power expressed in dBm of each packet".
Any clue is appreciated.Thanks in advance.

Hi @Ambica2022,
from my understanding you can get the RSSI value using the packetlevel/SignalTag_m.h file as follows:

#include "inet/physicallayer/wireless/common/contract/packetlevel/SignalTag_m.h"

if (receivedPkt->findTag<SignalPowerInd>() != nullptr) {
	  auto signalPowerInd = receivedPkt->getTag<SignalPowerInd>();
	  double rxPower = signalPowerInd->getPower().get();
	  EV_INFO << "RX power= " << rxPower << "W" << endl;
}

Depending on your version of INET, the location of the SignalTag_m.h can vary, this should however work on the latest.
