Robotic Wireless Sensor Networks
In this chapter, we present a literature survey of an emerging, cutting-edge,
and multi-disciplinary field of research at the intersection of Robotics and
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) which we refer to as Robotic Wireless Sensor
Networks (RWSN). We define a RWSN as an autonomous networked multi-robot system
that aims to achieve certain sensing goals while meeting and maintaining
certain communication performance requirements, through cooperative control,
learning and adaptation. While both of the component areas, i.e., Robotics and
WSN, are very well-known and well-explored, there exist a whole set of new
opportunities and research directions at the intersection of these two fields
which are relatively or even completely unexplored. One such example would be
the use of a set of robotic routers to set up a temporary communication path
between a sender and a receiver that uses the controlled mobility to the
advantage of packet routing. We find that there exist only a limited number of
articles to be directly categorized as RWSN related works whereas there exist a
range of articles in the robotics and the WSN literature that are also relevant
to this new field of research. To connect the dots, we first identify the core
problems and research trends related to RWSN such as connectivity,
localization, routing, and robust flow of information. Next, we classify the
existing research on RWSN as well as the relevant state-of-the-arts from
robotics and WSN community according to the problems and trends identified in
the first step. Lastly, we analyze what is missing in the existing literature,
and identify topics that require more research attention in the future
A probabilistic approach to reduce the route establishment overhead in AODV algorithm for manet
Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETS) is a collection of wireless nodes without any
infrastructure support. The nodes in MANET can act as either router or source
and the control of the network is distributed among nodes. The nodes in MANETS
are highly mobile and it maintains dynamic interconnection between those mobile
nodes. MANTEs have been considered as isolated stand-alone network. This can
turn the dream of networking "at any time and at any where" into reality. The
main purpose of this paper is to study the issues in route discovery process in
AODV protocol for MANET. Flooding of route request message imposes major
concern in route establishment. This paper suggests a new approach to reduce
the routing overhead during the route discovery phase. By considering the
previous behaviour of the network, the new protocol reduces the unwanted
searches during route establishment processComment: International Journal of Distributed and Parallel Systems (IJDPS)
