A cooperative packet-loss-tolerant algorithm for Wireless Networked Robots rendezvous

摘要

This paper studies the effects of an unreliable communication channel on the Wireless Networked Robots (WNR) rendezvous problem. The objective is to drive the robots to keep a desired formation through local exchange of information. A decentralized cooperative packet-loss tolerant algorithm is proposed to guarantee robots rendezvous despite the presence of packet losses. Realistic NS-3 (Network Simulator) simulation results validate the the proposed approach effectiveness.
