A Next Generation Gravity Mission (NGGM) concept for measuring the Earth's variable gravity field has been recently proposed by ESA. The mission objective consists in measuring the temporal variations of the Earth gravity field over a long time span, with very high spatial and temporal resolutions. This paper focuses on the GNC design for NGGM. NGGM will consist of a two-satellite long-distance formation like GRACE, where each satellite will be controlled to be drag-free like GOCE. Satellite-to-satellite distance variations, encoding gravity anomalies, will be measured by laser interferometry. The formation satellites, distant up to 200 km, will fly in a quasi-polar orbits at an Earth altitude between 300 and 450 km. Orbit and formation control counteract bias and drift of the residual drag-free accelerations, in order to reach orbit/formation long-term stability. Drag-free control is the core of the orbit/formation control since it allows the formation to fly counteracting the atmospheric drag, ideally subjected only to gravity. Orbit and formation control, designed through the innovative Integrated Formation control (IFC), have been integrated into a unique control system, aiming at stabilizing the 'formation triangle' consisting of satellites and Earth Center of Masses. In addition, both spacecrafts must align their control axis to the satellite-to-satellite line (SSL) with micro-radian accuracy. This is made possible by specific optical sensors and the inter-satellite laser interferometer, capable of materializing the SSL. Such sensors allow each satellite to pursue an autonomous alignment after a suitable acquisition procedure. Pointing control is severely constrained by the angular drag-free control which must ideally zero the angular acceleration vector, in the science frequency band. The control unit has been designed according to the Embedded Model control methodology and is organized in a hierarchical way where drag-free control plays the role of a wide-ba

This paper is a continuation of our previous paper under the same topic, MANET testbed using mobile robot technology. In our previous paper, we studied the topic by scrutinizing all the technical aspects and presented it as a technical review. However in this paper, we study the topic and presents it as a critical review that dwells into four aspect, namely (i) purpose, accessibility and scope of testbed facilities, (ii) usability and controllability of robot mobility in t estbed facilities, (iii) repeatability and reproducibility of real mobility in t estbeds, and (iv) tools for MANET implementation, deployment and debugging for experiments. With the wealth of information on the topic provided in this paper, the content of this paper is expected to be a source of reference for MANET researchers who are at a crossroad when selecting the preferred mobile robot technology and approach to suit their own specific needs.

In this paper, we propose novel relay selection policies that aim at reducing the average delay by incorporating the buffer size of the relay nodes into the relay selection process. More specifically, we propose two delay-aware protocols that are based on the max - link relay selection protocol. First, a delay-aware only approach while it reduces the delays considerably it starves the buffers and increases the outage probability of the system. Towards this end, we propose a delay- and diversity-aware buffer-aided relay selection policy that aims at reducing the average delay considerably and at the same time maintaining good diversity. The protocols are analyzed by means of Markov Chains and expressions for the outage, throughput and delay are derived. The performance and use of our proposed algorithms is demonstrated via extensive simulations and comparisons.

A combinatorial approach has been recently proposed for multi-parametric quadratic programming and has shown to be more effective in finding the complete solution than existing geometric methods for higher-order systems. In this paper, we propose a method for exploring the combinatorial tree which exploits some of the underlying geometric properties of adjacent critical regions as the supplementary information in combinatorial approach to exclude a noticeable number of feasible candidate active sets from combinatorial tree. This method is particularly well-suited for cases where many combinations of active constraints are feasible but not optimal. Results indicate that this method can find all critical regions corresponding to non-degenerate multi-parametric programming. A postprocessing algorithm can be applied to complete the proposed method in the cases in which some critical regions might not be enumerated due to degeneracies in the problem.
