RIVA_Decentralized_Communication

Preliminaries:

1. Install necessary requirements --> pip install requirements.txt

Using the Map Generator:

1. Open the file "map.xlsx" and define the positions of obstacles
   • Black cells will be obstacles
   • White cells will be free of obstacles
2. Open the folder "map_generator" in your Integrated Development Environments (IDE), i.e. VS Code
3. Run the file "map_generator.py" --> a list with the coordinates of the obstacles will be generated --> obstacles.py
4. Copy the file into the folder "simulation/world"

Using the Simulation:

1. Open the folder "simulation" in your IDE
2. Configure your individual simulation in the file constants.py
   • CYCLES: 1-10, defining how many simulation cycles shall be performed
   • NUMBER_OF_ROVERS: 2-10, defining how many rovers shall be included
   • COMM_TYPE: [No_Comm, Timing_Selective, Content_Selective, Receiver_Selective, Integrated, Full_Comm], defining the communication type for the simulation cycles
   • further configuration parameters, if necessary
3. run the file "main.py"
4. The simulation output data will be saved in several files in simulation/output_logger/plotted_data

Enjoy!
