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 …

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 …

In this paper, we investigate the use of a swarm of drones as mobile data gathering sinks for
scattered wireless sensors over large areas. Precisely, we address the path planning issue …

We investigate the idea of using a fixed-wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) as a mobile
sink in a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) to increase the network lifetime. We formulate and …

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 …

The introduction of a drone-based mobile sink into wireless sensor networks (WSNs), which
has flexible mobility to move to each sensor node and gather data with a single-hop …

Sensor nodes in a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) can be dispersed over a remote sensing
area (eg, the regions that are hardly accessed by human beings). In such kinds of networks …

In this paper, we formulate an Energy Efficient (EE) deployment for Mobile Wireless Sensor
Networks (MWSNs) that consists of multiple clusters of sensor nodes, one mobile sink in …

In this paper, an alternate wireless data collection method is proposed to utilize in place of
the traditional wireless mesh networks that are used to collect sensor data where there is …
