[Tinyos-help] High packet loss rate with Flooding

[Markus Becker]

Dear list,

we are using TinyOS 1.1.15 CVS TOSSIM for simulating an application which
uses Flooding. The radio model used is the Disc10 model. The 26 nodes are
placed to locations along one line using the Python interface.

The problems we face are:
1. The maximum number of hops of the packets is only 2. After two times of
broadcasting, the packets don't go further, which might be the main reason
of the high packet loss rate 62.2% we experience.
2. Packets received more than once are sometimes not detected and
forwarded again.

Did someone on the list experience similar problems when using FloodM?

Any help is highly appreciated.

BR,
Markus
