Dynamic Partitioning and Coverage Control With Asynchronous One-to-Base-Station Communication

Discrete Partitioning and Coverage Control with Gossip Communication

In this paper we propose distributed algorithms to automatically deploy a group of robotic agents and provide coverage of a discretized environment represented by a graph. We present a discrete coverage algorithm which converges to a centroidal Voronoi partition while requiring only pairwise “gossip” communication between the agents. Our theoretical analysis is based on a dynamical system on pa...

Dynamic Base Station Energy Saving with Relays

Asynchronous and Dynamic Coverage Control Scheme for Persistent Surveillance Missions

A decomposition-based coverage control scheme is proposed for multi-agent, persistent surveillance missions operating in a communication-constrained, dynamic environment. The proposed approach decouples high-level task assignment from low-level motion planning in a modular framework. Coverage assignments and surveillance parameters are managed by a central base station, and transmitted to mobil...

Beamforming-type Base Station Power Control for Personal Communication Networks

Introduction: Recently a new approach of power control was introduced in order to enhance the capacity, i.e. number of simultaneously served users, of personal communication networks. The new method employs superresolution beamformers and array signal processing at the base stations to suppress the co-channel interference by synthesising an antenna pattern with high gain towards the direction o...

The Measurement and Analysis of Wimax Base Station Signal Coverage

This paper presents the field trial measurement data of WiMAX base station; it includes the system coverage, signal strength and available transmission rate. Data consisting of real time images, VoIP internet telephone are transmitted through Skype software by using WiMAX, HSDPA (3.5G) and EDGE (2G) transmission techniques, and these data are connected to centrally equipped wireless monitoring ...
