Title
Wireless Mesh Routing For Indoor Robotic Communications.
Abstract
With increase adaptation of Industry 4.0, large warehouses deploy huge number of robots and sensors along with humans to manage inventory. Such a collaborative environment requires a seamless wireless communication infrastructure to share information among different entities. Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) have evolved as the next generation network for improving wireless services by providing inherent multi-hop communication. WMN deploys a routing protocol at layer-2 and provides multi-hop communication functionality with reduced overhead. Although various routing protocols are proposed for WMN, they are not very effective when WMN are applied as underlying technology in a multi-robotic wireless network. This is because of the fact that unlike any other wireless mobile device, robotic devices have certain task work-flow to follow and hence their mobility and connectivity with adjacent robots depends on their tasks at hand. In this paper we propose a new path selection and multi-hop routing protocol called Robotic Wireless Mesh Protocol (RWMP) for indoor multi-robot wireless networks. Through our NS3 based simulations we compare performances of the proposed model with existing state-of-the-art models and show that the proposed model outperforms existing state-of-the-art schemes in terms of average throughput and end-to-end delay.
