Sudha,

Most WLAN drivers indicate the signal strength of the received
packets. You can use the utilities provided by your WLAN card's vendor
to get this information. Other applications like netstumbler may also
display this information.

I don't know why you need all the n*(n-1) values, but if you really
need all those numbers, choose one of the devices as the transmitter
and start a large file transfer or any long data transfer. Then
measure the signal strength at all the other (n-1) nodes. Change the
transmitter to the next node and repeat the measurement. Doing this
for all the nodes will give you the n*(n-1) values.
