Abstract
Practical retention of mobile ad hoc network
communications via connectability theory is presented and
compared to predictive modeling techniques. Network
communication disruptions is prevented by driving relay
agents to computed waypoints using sliding mode and LQ
control, or using predictive modeling to optimally control
relay agents. The connectability matrix is used to determine
where future node isolation will occur. This paper expands
the connectability matrix concept into connectability theory to
not only predict node isolation, but to directly compute the
waypoints for relay agents. The existing methods of
computing waypoints, of controlling robotic routers to form so
called network bridges, and the outcome of predictive
modeling are shown to be special cases of the proposed
connectability theory. Also, case studies and simulations are
presented to show this connectability theory’s utility in
various network configurations.
