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

提案ID: ECS 0554079标题：Katrina SGER：绘制无线基站覆盖岛机构：俄亥俄州立大学类型：Sinha， Prasun提案范围- pi建议通过本地检查与主干网的连接并识别连接（电力故障，天线阻塞或机械损坏）来绘制无线基站地图。他们提议扩大他们在无线系统方面的经验，并研究岛屿测绘的算法。智能价值——路易斯安那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效。虽然基站数据的状况很容易从服务提供商处获得，但由于天线被风移动或部分被碎片遮挡后，其有效覆盖范围内的景观发生了变化，因此可能不足以绘制出基站实际覆盖岛的地图。更广泛的影响-这项工作将收集数据并进行分析，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。这些信息对于在没有广泛覆盖的地区协调救援任务和在没有覆盖的地区预先规划所需的行动步骤至关重要。

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.
