Report.
Column
header
Description
ABPower
The average RSSI values for transmissions from mote A to mote B.
ABRx
Number of packets mote B received from mote A.
ABTx(Fail) Number of packets transmitted by mote A to mote B, and the number
of packets for which mote A failed to receive acknowledgement.
Packets may fail for a number of reasons, including RF interference or
bit errors.
avQ
Average number of packets in the mote’s queue waiting to be
transmitted.
BAPower
The average RSSI values for transmissions from mote B to mote A.
BARx
Number of packets mote A received from mote B.
BATx(Fail) Number of packets transmitted by mote B to mote A, and the number
of packets for which mote B failed to receive acknowledgement.
(Not currently implemented. Acknowledgements are not sent for
downstream data transmission.)
Chg
Charge consumption, in millicoulombs.
Hop
A
verage number of hops (number of jumps from mote to mote before
reaching the gateway) for this mote’s data packets to arrive at
manager.
Id
Mote ID number.
Jn
Number of times the mote joined since the gateway’s network manager
was last reset.
Late
Data latency. The average time (in seconds) for a data packet to travel
from the mote to the gateway manager. The gateway manager
calculates data latency for each packet by subtracting the time the
packet was received at the gateway manager from the packet time
stamp, indicating when the packet was generated by the mote. The
gateway manager averages the data latency of all packets from a mote
to provide the values for network statistics.
Me
MAC-layer MIC (message integrity check) errors.
MoteA
MoteB
Describes the path from mote A to mote B.
mxQ
Maximum number of packets in the mote’s queue waiting to be
transmitted.
Ne
Network-layer MIC (message integrity check) errors.
PkDrp
Number of data packets dropped by the mote. Packets may be
dropped because the mote’s buffer was full and the mote was unable
to generate a packet.
