Autonomous end user optimization of the mobile wireless broadband system
Abstract
The use of mobile wireless network in an outdoor emergency environment is not a novel application. However, with a majority of existing applications being focused on the deployment of a wireless sensor network, wireless tracking system and wireless exploration system, the notion of providing end users with wireless broadband communication through an autonomous mobile wireless system is rarely explored. The foundation of this research is a mobile wireless robotic system capable of providing end users with instantaneous wireless broadband through the combination of wireless mesh network and intelligent robotic agents. This research addresses the issue of optimizing end user network throughput in an overcrowded mobile wireless network by intelligently deploying a helper unit in order to provide redundancy, reconstruct network layout and expand area of coverage.
