A virtual physics approach is applied among the proposed neighborhood topology to keep the robots together. A distance-weighted function based on a Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamic (SPH) interpolation approach is used as a key factor to identify the K-Nearest neighbors taken into account when aggregating the robots. The intra virtual physical connectivity among these neighbors is achieved using a virtual viscoelastic-based proximity model. With the ARGoS based-simulator, we model and evaluate the proposed approach showing various self-organized aggregations performed by a swarm of N foot-bot robots.","PeriodicalId":204170,"journal":{"name":"2017 5th International Conference on Electrical Engineering - Boumerdes (ICEE-B)","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121283255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We addressed the performance evaluation of Time Hopping Ultra-Wideband (TH-UWB) system with the Pulse Position Modulation (PPM) by assuming multiuser scenarios. The channel used here is the IEEE 802.15.3a that consists of Channel Models (CM1∼CM4). Moreover, a Rake receiver is adopted to collect the multipath occurring in the UWB channel. Thus, the reception of signals requires a channel estimation stage (for amplitudes and delays) which is achieved here using the Maximum-Likelihood (ML) approach with two contexts i.e. Data Added (DA) and Non-Data Added (NDA). Simulation results confirm that the channel estimation is affected slightly by the multi-user in terms of amplitudes and considerably in terms of delays, and thus leads to focus much on multipath time resolution to gain better UWB communication accuracy and BER performance.","PeriodicalId":204170,"journal":{"name":"2017 5th International Conference on Electrical Engineering - Boumerdes (ICEE-B)","volume":"34 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128603595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
