Cooperative Relative Localization in MAV Swarms with Ultra-wideband Ranging

Relative localization (RL) is essential for the successful operation of micro air vehicle (MAV) swarms. Achieving accurate 3-D RL in infrastructure-free and GPS-denied environments with only distance information is a challenging problem that has not been satisfactorily solved. In this work, based on the range-based peer-to-peer RL using the...

Cooperative Locality of Shortened Hamming Codes

Binary erasure-repairing codes protect information stored on multiple servers by adding parity servers. A characteristic of a code is its cooperative locality; a measure of the amount of servers that need to be accessed to repair erased servers. This report discusses the cooperative locality of Hamming codes and shortened Hamming codes, using...
