We propose an information transmission scheme by a swarm of anonymous oblivious mobile robots on a graph. The swarm of robots travel from a sender vertex to a receiver vertex to transmit a symbol generated at the sender. The codeword for a…
A distributed average consensus algorithm in which every sensor transmits with bounded peak power is proposed. In the presence of communication noise, it is shown that the nodes reach consensus asymptotically to a finite random variable…
