Abstract

In this paper, we propose an algorithm to efficiently (re)-deploy the wireless mobile routers of a substitution network by considering the energy consumption, a fast deployment scheme and a mix of the network metric. We consider a scenario where we have two routers in a fixed network and where a robust connection must be restored between those two routers with a wireless mobile router. The main objective of the wireless mobile router is to increase the communication performance such as the throughput by acting as relay node between the two routers of the fixed network. We present a fast, adaptive and localized approach which takes into account different network metrics such as Received Signal Strength (RSS), Round-Trip Time (RTT) and the Transmission Rate, between the wireless mobile router and the two routers of the fixed network. Our method ameliorates the performance of our previous approach from the literature by shortening the deployment time, increasing the throughput, and consuming less energy in some specific cases.
