Description
Summary:SWARM technology can coordinate large numbers of small drones to perform collective tasks, including but not limited to surveillance, search and rescue, and cargo transport. SWARM nodes connect wirelessly to each other, coordinating communication and sensing. Different from traditional mobile/wireless communications, SWARM communication operates as an ad-hoc self-organizing mesh network. In addition, SWARM nodes can communicate with each other through multi-hop links. Benefit from the characteristics of low power consumption and strong mobility of each node, SWARM network can dynamically change and cover a large area. In this project we use Raspberry Pi platform to configure mesh nodes and build mesh networks, wireless communication technology and protocols are utilized to realize SWARM communication in Ad-hoc mode. More specifically, we use the BATMAN-adv protocol at the data link layer to communicate.
