Real Time Application Support in an Ambient Network Using Intelligent Mobile Robots

In this paper, we present an intelligent and controllable ad hoc network using mobile robot routers in heterogeneous mobile environments. The goal of the mobile robots is to ensure a global wireless connectivity, and interconnection to a wired infrastructure. The support of real time multimedia services are also allowed by a cross-layer quality of service management combined with a terminal based routing protocol, providing good wireless link quality. Keywords Ad hoc, intelligent robot router, connectivity, real time support This work was funded by the ITEA Ambience project [1].
