Abstract

Wireless ad hoc networks face many challenges in routing, power management, and basic connectivity. Existing research has looked into using predicted node movement as a means to improve connectivity. While past research has focused on assuming wireless signals propagate in clear free loss space, our previous research has focused on using signal loss maps to improve predictions. This paper presents novel testing of signal loss maps in relation to the accuracy used for prediction purposes. Through analysis of test cases and results from a custom built simulator the performance is effectively measured.
