We consider a wireless network using a drone as a sink node collecting data from sensor
nodes is considered. Since a drone is expected to cover the large area, the scheduling of …

The benefits of using mobile sinks or data mules for data collection in Wireless Sensor
Network (WSN) have been studied in several works. In this paper, we consider a drone with …

Data collection by autonomous mobile sensor arrays can be coupled with the use of drones
which provide a low-cost, easily deployable backhauling solution. These means of collection …

Abstract In Vehicular Networks (VANETs), the rapid movement of vehicles leads to highly
time-varying network topology and brings the problem of blind spots in signal coverage. To …

In this paper, we consider a drone deployment problem in situations where the number of
drones to be deployed is small compared to the number of users on the ground. In this …

With the rapid proliferation of drones, there have been numbers of opportunities and
challenges in drone application research area. One of the highlighted topics about the …

We consider a delivery network using drones. Drones can fail during the flight and such
drone failures can result in loss of demand and consumer satisfaction. Therefore, we …

In this paper, we develop a wireless data gathering model for a multi-drone system in
traditional wireless sensor networks (WSNs), where each drone serves as a data collector in …

Originally invented by the military for warfighting, drones have broken through adamant
barriers established by traditional commercial and civilian industry and are quickly …

Abstract We consider Internet of Things (IoT) sensors deployed inside an area to be
monitored. Not all the sensors are connected via single-hop to the depot that requires the …
