Ad Hoc Communications for Wireless Robots in Indoor Environments

Abstract

This chapter presents a theoretical and experimental comparison of electromagnetic propagation models for indoor robot communication using mobile ad-hoc IEEE802.11 and IEEE802.15.4. The analysis includes the behavior of the electromagnetic signal using the abovementioned standards in two scenarios, both located inside the building of the College of Telematics of the University of Colima. The results of the propagation of the electromagnetic signals in the two scenarios were then compared with the mathematical model.
