Performance evaluation on relay function of cooperative link aggregation system in multiple robots

The robots having 3G/LTE capability can cooperate with others by using link-aggregation when one needs to send unexpected huge data in high bandwidth to the remote center office. To do so, the robot distributes its data to other robots with IEEE802.11 WLAN. They can move close to the robot to prevent from the situation where the WLAN communication becomes a bottleneck because they are too far to get higher transmission rate. With computing moving cost and appropriate transmission rate, we investigate how the robots should move to obtain the best results. The computation has some complexity and we provide heuristic computation method.
