    Abstract

    This paper discusses a novel a two-level 'totally mobile' wireless communications architecture which is motivated by the need for low cost rapidly deployable communication structures. The system's capabilities for intelligent survivability and adaptive connectivity in a highly dynamic mobile environment are discussed. We design and evaluate algorithms for base station movement as well as for terminal handoff based on robot motion planning and wireless power control. Performance metrics considered include the coverage of mobile terminals by the base stations, the effectiveness of call handoff, and the usage of communication power by the mobile terminals.
