Efficient and reliable systems are required to detect and monitor disasters such as wildfires
as well as to notify the people in the disaster-affected areas. Internet of Things (IoT) is the …

This paper presents a mini-review of Flying Ad Hoc Networks'(FANETs) mobility model.
FANETs are groups of small UAVs connected in an ad hoc manner to achieve specific goals …

This paper introduces a novel distributed algorithm designed to optimize the deployment of
access points within Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) for better service quality in …

The Unmanned aerial vehicle communication network (UAVCN) is a group or swarm of
unmanned aerial vehicles which can be used for specific military and civilian applications …

In this contribution we consider the problem of optimal drone positioning for improving the
operation of a mobile ad hoc network. We build upon our previous results devoted to the …

We describe a novel game-theoretic formulation of the optimal mobile agents' placement
problem which arises in the context of Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs). This problem is …

In the aftermath of a disaster, the ability to reliably communicate and coordinate emergency
response could make a meaningful difference in the number of lives saved or lost. However …

For search and rescue (SAR), the dynamic connectivity issue caused by mobility of aerial
node will severely influence the actual performance in aerial backbone network (ABN). To …

Reliable communication infrastructure plays an extremely important role in peoples'
everyday lives and the lack of sufficient communication means could have severe negative …
