RSSI Definition • Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) is a measurement of the power present in a received radio signal. CC2420 Datasheet: “The RSSI register value RSSI.RSSI_VAL can be referred to the power P at the RF pins by using the following equations: P = RSSI_VAL + RSSI_OFFSET [dBm] where the RSSI_OFFSET is found empirically during system development from the front end gain. RSSI_OFFSET is approximately –45.”
LQI Definition • The link quality indication (LQI) measurement is a characterization of the quality of a received packet. CC2420 Datasheet: ”A correlation value of ~110 indicates a maximum quality frame while a value of ~50 is typically the lowest quality frames detectable by CC2420”
Path Loss Model:Mathematical Formula Model: PL = PTx - PRx = -10 n Log(d) + A [dBm] Where: • PL is the path loss • n is the path loss exponent, 2 = free space! • dis the distance between the transmitter and the receiver • A is a constant which accounts for system losses
RSSI vs. DistanceField test: Outdoor [dBm] [m]
LQI vs. DistanceField test: Outdoor [LQI] [m]
RSSI vs. DistanceField test: Indoor [dBm] [m]
Path Loss Model:Models Achieved Outdoor Model: PL(d) = -10 · 2.3 · Log(d) – 48 Indoor (Hall) Model: PL(d) = -10 · 2.0 · Log(d) – 45 Values determined empirically from field tests!
