Swarm robotics is an approach to collective robotics with which it is easily possible to complete the tasks that are difficult to do with single robot. The wireless multiple access network contributes significantly in wireless mobile swarm robotics for communication and networking, especially in disaster scenarios. Since the unpredictable impacts may fail the sensing robots or nodes, causing the loss of valuable data, a coding scheme called the Growth codes is designed to increase data persistence. In the wireless multiple access network, a key requirement of data collection in disaster scenarios is to maintain a high data intermediate recovery rate. In the later period of the Growth codes, the large amount of redundant data in the network affects the efficiency of data collection. In this paper, we design and analyze techniques to reduce the number of redundant data, and propose a sectional configured data collection strategy based on the Growth codes, called the SCGC protocol. Setting cache nodes around the sink to filter the redundant codewords, the sink can collect data faster, ensuring a high data intermediate recovery rate. We also design an information update strategy and some constraints to control node overhead. Through the simulations, we show that the proportion of redundant codewords can be reduced by 10-15%, while the negative impact of these valid codewords is not considered in the Growth codes. We also show that the SCGC protocol can improve the data recovery efficiency without affecting the stability of the network or shortening the network lifetime.

“…In addition, the data transmission would not be done when the UAV is out of the range. As a result, the synergetic forwarding in the UAV communication network is necessary to pay attention to [14]. Another important issue in the UAV communication network is the pow cost, which is very sensitive to the UAV, especially for the ones supported by the battery.…”

“…However, this work focused 2 Mathematical Problems in Engineering on a single base station's movement optimization; it is not a multiuser network. In [15], a power consumption optimal synergetic forwarding scheme was put forward to improve the system's lifetime by Li et al; nevertheless, the research in [14] mainly focuses on single UAV's movement design, not for the UAV communication network. The approach proposed in [15] is a centralized one, not the focused point in our work.…”

Due to the limited transmission power, the data transmission between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the ground station often needs the synergetic forwarding. The optimization of the synergetic forwarding organization is important to the performance of the unmanned aerial vehicle communication networks. This paper aims to optimize the energy cost using the synergetic forwarding mode in the unmanned aerial vehicle communication networks. To reduce the expensive information exchange and improve the robust of the network, we put forward an energy cost orient forwarding allocation approach using game based intelligent algorithm. The theoretic analysis and simulation results verify that the put forward method could achieve optimal energy cost communication organization.

“…The FRM also provides the possibility to combine different robotic components. For instance, integrating different robotic arms on different UGVs or in the case of relay robot needs, it can suggest the use of different robots as WiFi relays to extend the communication coverage [200]. On the database of the robotic pools, the entire features of each robot are listed, but the proposed automatic module can dynamically configure types of robots and tool suggestions mixing the basic ones with different properties.…”
