vary transmission distance and see how it affects the results in different scenarios

[masonicboom]

some of these radio techs/freq bands have different transmission ranges. Try 'em out and see what's good. For bonus points try decreasing transmission range (back off the power) when there's a high density of agents around you, to in.

Add all of them with a configuration variable? :D

[masonicboom]

basically :P as of now, that stuff is all set in the scenario description DSL files, so we can just change make different versions of our scenarios for the different technologies. i'll look up some real numbers for these things, because i think our .5 seconds per bit is causing an unrealistically large number of collisions

haha, definitely true :D
