How to get the RSSI and SNR values for Wifi communication using TCP sockets?
I am communicating between two laptop machines(both running Ubuntu 12.04 ) using TCP sockets. Is there a way to programmatically extract extract RSSI and SNR values for each incoming packet , as is possible with radio-tap? Is there some layer -2 API which extracts the SSI and Background noise value for each received packet?
I have a Dell Latitude E6410(with Ubuntu 12.04 installed) , which uses an Intel Ultimate N-6300 Wireless card. iwconfig does not show the Noise level of the wireless interface , wlan0. Does anyone know the reason for that?
Output of iwconfig
mon0 IEEE 802.11abgn Mode : Monitor Tx-Power = 15 dBm
Retry long limit : 7 RTS thr Off Fragment thr Off Power Management Off
wlan0 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID : "AirPennNet"
Mode:Managed Frequency : 2.412 GHz
Bit Rate=130 Mb/s Tx-Power=15 dBm
Retry long limit : 7 RTS thr : off Fragment thr : off Power Management : on Link Quality=65/70 Signal level=-45 dBm
How can i get the noise value?
