Abstract

In case the communication infrastructure of a geographical area fails or is destroyed by some natural phenomenon or disaster, it is interesting to be able to organize, send and disseminate network components, such as routers, relays or access points to replace those that were destroyed or to create a network on demand. A mobile relay network is a temporary network that self-deploys to dynamically replace a portion of the communication infrastructure using a set of mobile components, robots with movement capability and a wireless interface. The deployment strategy that must be followed must allow the relays to be distributed in the target area in an efficient, distributed and autonomous manner. In this paper we present a classification of self-deployment algorithms for this type of networks, as well as the most important characteristics of them.
