Abstract:Line-of-sight (LOS) establishment is a significant part of the neighbor discovery process for an ad-hoc network with highly directional antennas/transceivers. And, this problem of establishing LOS between neighbor nodes become even more challenging when they have no a priori information about each other's location. In this paper, we present a heuristic for LOS neighbor discovery between two drones capable of scanning the 3D space around them using highly directional transceivers. The drones can mechanically st… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
