Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we have been developing the sensor node deployment method for expanding communication area by utilizing mobile robot. Availability of proposed method in actual environment is confirmed by experimental results. Proposed method decides a position of sensor node by referring the value of throughput and RSSI between two sensor nodes. Moreover, this method can modify the sensor node position for maintaining communication quality between sensor nodes. Future task is to shorten throughput measurement time in deciding the position of sensor node.
