8 Notes on Energy Levels and LQI<br />

8.1 Interpreting LQI<br />

On the EM250 as well as the EM35x, the LQI is closely related to the SNR (signal noise ratio) but<br />

is calculated from the chip error rate. The graph below shows the relation between the SNR and<br />

the LQI reading on the EM250, which is the basis of the ETRX2 series of modules.<br />

EM250 SNR vs LQI<br />

0.<br />

From the LQI the stack calculates the cost for a particular link based on the following table. The<br />

cost is used by the stack to compare routes between nodes.<br />

Cost LQI<br />

1 254 - 255<br />

3 247 - 253<br />

5 200 - 246<br />

7 0 - 199<br />
