[Tinyos-help] Clear channel threshold in TOSSIM: Wrong default CCA threshold?

Hi,

Looking at the CpmModelC.nc file of TOSSIM, it is stated that the
clear channel assesment threshold is, by the datasheet default,
-72dbm.

But I had a look at the datasheet, and there it is stated that the CCA
threshold is -77 dbm (p.10 or 11 of the document, according to the
revision). And there is no reference in the whole document to a -72
dbm value.

Is the -5 dbm difference on purpose or am I looking at the wrong variable?


Best regards,

Alban
