[ns] Help: Received Power Level of a Packet at MAC Layer in MANETs

[Ahmad R Shahid]

well the power level (or energy level) is that of the
node and not of the packet.

yet the easiest way to get the energy level is to add
the following code:

double myEnergy_;
Node *thisNode;

thisNode =
Node::get_node_by_address((nsaddr_t)myaddr_);

if(thisNode->energy_model()){
    myEnergy_ = thisNode->energy_model()->energy();
}

Thanks,

Ahmad
