“…As pointed out by Yoon et al [30] RWP mobility models have deficiencies, and real applications may indeed show a different behaviour (see the work by Kuiper and Nadjm-Tehrani [31] for example). Thus, to avoid the slowdown of the original RWP, in our model we change the destination waypoint periodically (regardless if the destination waypoint has been reached or not).…”

Abstract-This article proposes a scheme for bandwidth allocation in wireless ad hoc networks. The quality of service (QoS) levels for each end-to-end flow are expressed using a resourceutility function, and our algorithms aim to maximize aggregated utility. The shared channel is modeled as a bandwidth resource defined by maximal cliques of mutual interfering links.We propose a novel resource allocation algorithm that employs an auction mechanism in which flows are bidding for resources. The bids depend both on the flow's utility function and the intrinsically derived shadow prices. We then combine the admission control scheme with a utility-aware on-demand shortest path routing algorithm where shadow prices are used as a natural distance metric.As a baseline for evaluation we show that the problem can be formulated as a linear programming (LP) problem. Thus, we can compare the performance of our distributed scheme to the centralized LP solution, registering results very close to the optimum. Next we isolate the performance of price-based routing and show its advantages in hotspot scenarios, and also propose an asynchronous version that is more feasible for ad hoc environments.Further experimental evaluation compares our scheme with the state-of-the-art derived from Kelly's utility maximization framework and shows that our approach exhibits superior performance for networks with increased mobility or less frequent allocations.Index Terms-Mobile computing, pricing and resource allocation, quality of service, optimization, performance evaluation of algorithms and systems.

“…For this reason, many researchers chose to create realistic models for MANET like in [13], [14] and [15]. However, fewer propositions are studied for UAV ad hoc networks like in [16], and in [17]. In general, The wellknown «Random-Way Point mobility model» (RWP) [10] is used in such situation.…”

“…Indeed, in [16], authors compared the two proposed models only to each other using a geometric criterion: the scan coverage and a network measure: the UAV connectivity. This comparison did not show the effect of the mobility-related information exchange on the behavior of the network.…”

Intelligent Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) on emergency rescue are widely used to detect injured mountaineers in inaccessible areas. These systems should satisfy several features. It is important to know the georeference of the injured mountaineers. It is also important to have real-time images of the area where people have suffered the accident. In this paper, we present the development of a UAV integrated within a wireless ad hoc network and the communication protocol that is able to transfer data between several UAV's and the Smartphones carried by the mountaineers. This paper also shows how ad hoc networks extend the wireless coverage for emergency situations in critical areas without GSM cellular coverage. After developing our system, we have focused our effort on demonstrating the correct operation of our UAV and its network performance when the system is used to track someone within a zone. Experimental results show the big potential of this kind of networks working in hostile environments such as big mountains, ravines and river canyons without GSM signal communication.
