Abstract

En 中文
This note concerns the problem of k-hop connectivity in a network of mobile agents, which is achieved if any pair of agents can communicate with each other through a link of k-1 or fewer intermediate nodes. We propose linear constraints involving binary optimization variables to ensure k-hop connectivity. Such constraints are then integrated into a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) trajectory planning model. Simulation results illustrate the application of the proposed method and the effect of varying k in the context of a mission involving the visitation of multiple targets.
