A Location and Velocity Prediction-Assisted FANET Networking Scheme for Highly Mobile Scenarios

Location Aware Mobile Networking

With the introduction of 3 and 4 Generation networks, the increase in WLAN hotspot population, and the approaching need to stay always best connected, intelligent roaming mechanisms are needed to homogenize wireless network connectivity and assure QoS to the end users. Additionally, the security of wireless networks and wireless devices is a necessity for the wireless world to mature, and canno...

Caching Location Data in Mobile Networking

Each Location Directory (LD) provides the information to locate the forwarding address of aMobile Host (MH) in a mobile networking system. The LD should be updated when the MH moves from one access zone to another access zone. If an Internet Access Point (IAP) (or base station) could cache some useful LD information entries, then, after receiving a packet from an MH in its access zone, the IAP ...

Location update and routing scheme for a mobile computing environment

We present a new hierarchical location update and routing scheme for a wide area mobile computing environment with scalability of network hierarchy. Our scheme provides nearly optimal routing for most communication bypassing the mobile host’s home network and home agent. We use simulation to compare our scheme with other schemes in both non-hierarchical and hierarchical network architectures. C...

Path Following and Velocity Optimizing for an Omnidirectional Mobile Robot

In this paper, the path following controller of an omnidirectional mobile robot (OMR) has been extended in such a way that the forward velocity has been optimized and the actuator velocity constraints have been taken into account. Both have been attained through the proposed model predictive control (MPC) framework. The forward velocity has been included into the objective function, while the a...
