[ns] RTR timeout versus extending range in ad-hoc networks

["Mattos, Leonardo" <lsmattos@nps.navy.mil>]

Hi all,

Thanks to the help of many mailing list users, I was able to solve my
initial problem, which was extending the range from 250m to 10km for
wireless networks.
By changing the DSSS_SIFS value in mac-802_11.h and by adapting the
RxThreshold in my Tcl script, I managed to get received packets for a static
network. I mean static, because the nodes were fixed, i.e, there were no
route/link changes.

However, when I added some movement, by adding a file created by setdest.cc
(note that I also changed the range value of setdest.cc), I got no received
packets.
Looking at the trace files, the error was due to DROP_RTR_ QTIMEOUT, meaning
that the packets expired before a route was found.
I am using DSR as my ad-hoc routing protocol.

Does anybody have any idea how to fix this problem???
Thanks in advance,
Leo
