Communication Disconnection Prevention System by Bandwidth Depression-Type Traffic Measurement in a Multi-Robot Environment using an LCX Network

Abstract

In this paper, we propose and develop a method for determining the transmission amount of each mobile robot connected to a network constructed with a leaky coaxial cable (LCX) by using broadcast packets. Tele-operation of mobile robots using an LCX network is more effective as an information collection method in closed spaces compared with existing methods in terms of the maintenance of the mobile robots’ running performance and the stability of the communication quality for disaster reduction activity. However, when the transmission and reception of information exceeds the maximum transmission amount, communication disconnection and transmission amount reduction occur because of band division in the communication path, and there is a risk that mobile robots will be separated from the LCX network. Therefore, to prevent the network division and the decrease of transmission amount during multi-robot operation on an LCX network, we propose a method for determining the transmission amount of each mobile robot using broadcast packets. The proposed method is evaluated on an LCX network, and its effectiveness is confirmed by evaluating the transmittability of broadcast packets and operability of mobile robot.
