Probe

compound module

A minimal wireless network node that consists only of an antenna and mobility model. Designed for monitoring wireless signals without actively participating in network communication.

Unlike full-featured wireless nodes, the Probe does not have protocol stacks, applications, or network interfaces. It simply provides the basic infrastructure needed to detect and measure wireless signals in the simulation environment.

The Probe can be used for various measurement and analysis purposes in wireless simulations, such as signal strength mapping, interference analysis, and coverage testing. When the simulation runs in Qtenv, the module can be dragged (shift + mouse) around. Visualizers should be configured to monitor the transmission medium.
