TX_RATE, TX_POWER and HIDDEN #23

Closed hrchhangte closed 7 years ago

hrchhangte commented 7 years ago

Hi,

Could you please help us in addressing the following issues: 1) The Agent does does not accept tx_power and hidden parameters when running. 2) The tx_rate seems to vary when the agent is running. eg. we set it to 108 but when the agent runs, the rate displayed varies. 3) The throughput we could achieve is very low. download is approx. 500kbps.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Sorry for the delay.

  1. The parameters cannot be varied once the Agent has started. I mean, you start the Click agent, and then you cannot modify the parameters. If you want to modify them, you have to restart the agent. Is this your problem?

  2. Regarding the tx_rate, the question is that it is fixed. As we are in monitor mode, there is no rate adaptation algorithm running, so it is fixed. So if you put a very high rate (e.g. 54Mbps) and the environment is very noisy, many packets will be lost.

  3. The problem is probably related to 2. You can perhaps try with a lower rate (a more conservative approach) and check the achieved throughput.

Hi,

Thanks for the response.

  1. What i mean is the it says "parameters unknown" for tx_power, tx_rate, hidden when i start click with a particular .cli file and so the agent does not start.
  2. Ok. i am a bit confused here because even though we set a specific value in the .cli file, the periodic report on the agent shows different rate.

Thanks, Zela

Regarding 1, the question is that we have added some new parameters in the .cli file, which correspond to new parameters in the click binary executable file. And they have to match. Try with the last binary I shared and see if it works.

Thanks for your response. when i try running the binary you have shared, it gives me a "odinagnet :: OdinAgnet input 2 unused" error/issue which prevents it from running.
