Katrina SGER: Mapping the Coverage Islands of Wireless Base-Stations

提案ID：ECS 0554079标题：Katrina SGER：绘制无线基站覆盖区域机构：俄亥俄州州立大学PI： Sinha，Prasun建议范围-PI建议通过本地检查与主干的连接并识别连接性（电源故障、天线阻塞或机械损坏）来映射无线基站。他们建议扩展他们在无线系统方面的经验，并研究一种岛屿测绘算法。智力优势-路易斯安那州地区现有的无线通信系统由于电力中断、洪水和风力破坏而失败。虽然可以很容易地从服务提供者那里获得基站数据的状况，但这可能不足以绘制基站真实的覆盖范围岛的地图，因为天线在被风移动或被碎片部分阻挡后，其有效覆盖范围的地形会发生变化。更广泛的影响-这项工作将收集数据并进行分析，这将为如何规划具有准确覆盖范围的无线通信系统提供更深入的见解。这种信息对于协调在覆盖面不广的区域的救援任务和预先规划在未覆盖区域的必要行动步骤至关重要。

Proposal ID: ECS 0554079Title: Katrina SGER: Mapping the Coverage Islands of Wireless Base Stations Institution: Ohio State UniversityPI: Sinha, Prasun Proposal scope-The PIs propose to map the wireless base stations by locally checking connections to the backbone with identification of connectivity (electrical power failure, antenna obstruction or mechanical damage). They are proposing to extend their experience on wireless systems and study an algorithm on Island Mapping.Intellectual Merit - Existing wireless communication systems in the Louisiana area have failed as a result of electrical power outages, flooding, and wind damage. Although the status of base-station data may be easily obtained from service providers, it may be insufficient to create maps of the real coverage island of base-stations because of the change of the landscape in the effective reach of antennae after they have been moved by wind or partially obstructed by debris. Broader Impact - This work will gather data and perform analysis that will provide deeper insight in how to plan a wireless communication system with an accurate map of coverage. Such information is critical for coordination of rescue missions in regions that do not have extensive coverage and by pre-planning needed steps of operation in uncovered regions.
