Sensor nodes consume their energy quickly due to their continuous perception, routing, and
internal circuit mechanisms in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Especially, the nodes that …

Wireless sensor network (WSN) is one of the most significant technologies that gets much
attention from researchers due to its promising applications in various environments …

Recently, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and LPWANs (low-power wide-area
networks) has been a good solution to the problem of data collection for environmental …

Intersections of flight paths in multidrone missions are indications of a high likelihood of in-
flight drone collisions. This likelihood can be proactively minimized during path planning …

This paper describes the system concept and initial results for end-to-end energy-
autonomous sensor systems using unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) as agents for power …

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, have drawn significant
consideration thanks to their agility, mobility, and flexibility features. They play a crucial role …

The benefits of using mobile sinks or data mules for data collection in Wireless Sensor
Network (WSN) have been studied in several works. However, most of them consider only …

Data collection is the most important task in wireless sensor networks (WSN). Each sensor
node has to send the sensed data to a special node called sink, which is the user interface …
