Abstract
An approach to adaptively positioning a set of mobile routers to provide communication services to a set of clients makes use of estimated direction profiles of communication between routers and clients. The approach does not rely on a Euclidean model in which communication characteristics (e.g., signal strength, data rate, etc.) depend on distance between communicating nodes, and does not necessarily require sampling of communication characteristics in unproductive directions in order to move the routers to preferable locations.
