    Abstract: A network management device determines at least one of that an individual error occurs in a target terminal device when a difference between (i) a response time for the target terminal device and (ii) an average response time that is an average value of the response time for each of two or more terminal devices belonging to a group to which the target terminal device belongs is larger than a first predetermined value, and that a group error occurs in a target group when a difference between (i) a current average response time that is an average value of the response time and (ii) a previous average response time that is an average value of a previous response time for two or more terminal devices belonging to the target group is larger than a second predetermined value, the previous response time being immediately prior to the response time.

    Abstract: A method for dynamic and extensible creation of an extensible wireless network, using a set of drones that individually support server processes. The drones interact with one another, exchanging information, type of coverage, type and amount of throughput, location, etc. A control node connects to a wired network. The node operates a leader election protocol, captures state information from the drones, and positions/re-positions the drones as necessary. Drones are flown in to position and then engaged as necessary to stretch/adapt the coverage as necessary. The drone's power utilization is monitored and its coverage area modified as necessary to optimize power utilization. The control node performs drone-based coverage/power utilization computations, and attempts to apply the appropriate location assignments to provide maximum network coverage (extensibility) while also preserving drone-specific power (battery) utilization. The approach herein can be used to supplement existing networks during events, migrations of populations during work hours, etc.
