Data muling using UAVs/drones is currently emerging as an alternative to the traditional
traffic engineering techniques used in wireless sensor networks, when wireless …

The use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in data transport has attracted a lot of
attention and applications, as a modern traffic engineering technique used in data sensing …

We focus on sensor networks that are deployed in challenging environments, wherein
sensors do not always have connected paths to a base station, and propose a new data …

The energy limit would abbreviate the lifetime of sweep coverage network. Wireless
charging technology might be the best way to extend the lifetime of sweep coverage …

In recent years, sensors have been deployed for measurement for weather, environment, or
traffic. The obtained data is used for analysis or research. When such sensors are deployed …

In this paper, we study the problem of data gathering in ad-hoc sensor networks using a
mobile entity called mule. The mule traverses the children of failed sensors, to prevent loss …

Given a set of $ n $ disks of radius $ R $ in the Euclidean plane, the Traveling Salesman
Problem With Neighborhoods (TSPN) on uniform disks asks for the shortest tour that visits all …

In order to evaluate the utility of using UAVs for the ongoing collection of sensor readings
from sensor nodes situated throughout an environment and their delivery to base stations for …

Cyber-physical systems continue to be increasingly important to global society because of
automation, miniaturization of electronics, and the Internet of Things. More smartphones and …
