Solving Area Coverage Problem with UAVs: A Vehicle Routing with Time Windows Variation [PDF]

open access: yesRobotics Auton. Syst., 2020
In real life, providing security for a set of large areas by covering the areas with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is a difficult problem that consists of multiple objectives. These difficulties are even greater if the area coverage has to be sustained

Indoor Wireless Network Coverage Area Optimization

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cyber and IT Service Management, 2022
The presence of interference has a significant impact on wireless network connections indoors. Because of the effects of multipath propagation, such as reflection, refraction, and scattering of radio waves by the structure of the building, the sent signal can usually be received in free space or via more than one pathway, and the consequence might be a

Distributed Coverage Area Reporting for Wireless Sensor Networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In order to efficiently deal with subscriptions or other location dependent information, it is key that the wireless sensor network informs the gateways what geographical area is serviced by which gateway. The gateways are then able to e.g.

Active SLAM for Mobile Robots With Area Coverage and Obstacle Avoidance

open access: yesIEEE/ASME transactions on mechatronics, 2020
In this article, we present an active simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) framework for a mobile robot to obtain a collision-free trajectory with good performance in SLAM uncertainty reduction and in an area coverage task.

Self-optimized Coverage Coordination in Femtocell Networks

open access: yes, 2010
This paper proposes a self-optimized coverage coordination scheme for two-tier femtocell networks, in which a femtocell base station adjusts the transmit power based on the statistics of the signal and the interference power that is measured at a ...

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Near-Optimal Area-Coverage Path Planning of Energy-Constrained Aerial Robots With Application in Autonomous Environmental Monitoring

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Automation Science and Engineering, 2020
This article describes a Voronoi-based path generation (VPG) algorithm for an energy-constrained mobile robot, such as an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The algorithm solves a variation of the coverage path-planning problem where complete coverage of an ...
