Geographical cells routing in ad-hoc networks of mobile robots

Abstract

We investigate adaptive routing in ad-hoc networks of mobile robots with an application of geographical cells. We show that the concept of geographical cells introduce an efficient information management system in ad-hoc networks of mobile robots. As compared to other existing ad-hoc routing concepts, geographical cell routing shows superiority in terms of delay, delay jitter and delivery ratio. Since the logical structure of the cells can be adjusted to particular application scenarios, geographical cells may become a flexible and effective alternative.
