Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We consider a wireless relay network using drones as a temporary communication system in a large-scale disaster area. We focus on the coverage control to deal with the deployment of multiple agents and propose a novel flight model of drones using radical Voronoi tessellation. In this model, the Voronoi cell is calculated using predicted positions of some drones, assuming that they are heading to the destinations obtained during the last communication. The simulation results show that the proposed flight model improves the delay characteristics of the network by setting weights of the predicted positions appropriately.
