Research abstract
In this effort UtopiaCompression team proposes to develop a Mobility Aware Disruption-Tolerant Opportunistic Routing (MADOR) suite for the Small Unmanned Aerial Systems Network. MADOR will leverage UC"s prior work on Mobility Aware Routing Protocol and Mobility Dissemination Protocol (MARP/MDP) for the Airborne Network. MADOR enables opportunistic disruption tolerant delivery of data between ground based tactical platoons which may otherwise not have line of sight connectivity between them. MADOR protocol suites will include adaptive energy aware rendezvous protocols and intelligent buffer management. MADOR"s performance experiences graceful degradation of performance in cases of imperfect mobility information. UC also proposes to develop a Platform Deployment Planning Toolbox for optimizing SUAS trajectories such that the possibility for encounter between ground and SUAS domain is maximized while maintaining the connectivity of the SUAS network.
