Design and evaluation of indoor wireless ad hoc network using BATMAN-adv with mobile robots

摘要

The mesh networks are one alternative because it has three essential characteristics: scalable, cooperative work, and self-organization. This type of network can solve problems of load assignment, distribution of tasks, and resources. One alternative to wireless networks (WLAN) is possible to communicate with multiple nodes, but the mesh networks can have connectivity with all nodes. However, it has been observed that in the literature, there is no implementation of this version (B.A.T.M.A.N. version V) of the protocol in indoor situations. Therefore, in this article, a mesh wireless network with heterogeneous devices is proposed to testbed the protocol with conditions in areas with different levels of obstructions applying teleoperation.
