On the Effectiveness of IEEE 802.11 Broadcasts for Soft Real-Time Communication

Overview Wireless communication became pervasive in many application domains, either to interconnect pieces of equipment, such as computer peripherals and mobile devices, or to facilitate the installation and operation of distributed systems in general, e.g., wireless LANs, or even to allow distributed systems to extend seamlessly over fixed or mobile hosts, such as industrial plants with mobile robots. This paper focuses on the latter case, particularly on the communication system for a set of mobile robots that must cooperate in real-time to achieve a common goal. The communication is based on IEEE 802.11, complemented with an overlay transmission control that reduces collisions among the robotic team.
