ABSTRACT
This paper suggests the wireless
communication technique used to determine the information of blimp localization
(distance and orientation) via wireless sensor network (WSN)
protocol. In cooperative decentralized system, information exchanges between
the agents are crucial. Each agent is required to share data to enable
individual decision making task. In this work, the WSN were
used as the data communications protocol which provides robust communication
using the mesh networking. In order to support the multi agent communication
network, the reliability of data needs to be proved. The performances of the
communication selection were studied through experimental and simulation
approach. The experimental results showed that the RSSI value
from the device provided good statically data fit using the R-square with value
of 0.947. This paper also proposed a new mobile node arrangement with hexagonal
anchor node arrangement based on water particles formation. The node
arrangement was simulated using the Senelex™ and showed low absolute error
position thus achieving the desired cooperative system requirement.

ABSTRAK
Kertas ini mencadangkan teknik komunikasi
tanpa wayar yang digunakan untuk menentukan maklumat penempatan
blimp (jarak dan orientasi) melalui protokol rangkaian sensor tanpa
wayar (WSN).
Dalam sistem pembahagian kerjasama, pertukaran maklumat antara agen
adalah penting. Setiap agen perlu berkongsi data bagi membolehkan
tugas membuat keputusan dilakukan secara individu. Dalam kertas
ini, rangkaian peranti tanpa wayar (WSN) telah digunakan sebagai protokol komunikasi yang menyediakan
pertukaran data yang mantap menggunakan rangkaian jaringan. Untuk
menyokong komunikasi rangkaian bagi pelbagai agen, kebolehpercayaan
data perlu dibuktikan. Prestasi komunikasi dikaji melalui eksperimen
dan simulasi. Keputusan eksperimen menunjukkan bahawa nilai RSSI daripada
peranti disediakan menunjukkan statistik data yang baik dengan Regresi,
R2
bernilai 0.947. Kertas ini juga mencadangkan aturan
nod mudah alih yang baharu dengan susunan heksagon pada nod sauh
berdasarkan pembentukan zarah air. Susunan nod disimulasi menggunakan
Senelex™ dan menunjukkan ralat mutlak yang rendah sekaligus
mencapai keperluan sistem koperasi yang dikehendaki.
