Self-organization of the communication network

Abstract

The author proposes a model of message delays in the ad hoc telecommunication network of mobile agents, in which connectivity and types of channels between agents change over time. We discuss the problems of the communication maintaining for the agents moving over the terrain with radio-impermeable obstacles and for agents with directed antennae. In the case of directed antennae, agents should choose such a way of movement, that antenna orientation would be maintained during the movement.
