In this paper, we focus on path planning of drone teams deployed for search and rescue
missions. The goal of the mission is to detect a target, inform the rescue personnel at the …

Abstract Flying Ad Hoc Networks (FANETs) are composed of a set of high mobility flying
nodes, such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), connected in an ad-hoc manner and …

In recent years, with the growth in the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), UAV-based
systems have become popular in both military and civil applications. The lack of reliable …

Flying ad hoc networks (FANETs) that consist of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)
are promising technologies for future networked systems due to the versatility of UAVs. One …

In recent years, the emergence of flying ad hoc networks (FANETs) with multiple unmanned
aerial vehicles (UAVs) has made it possible to effectively perform not only the far-off …

Approaches that aim to maintain the connectivity of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or
drones either utilize cellular networks or propose to jointly optimize connectivity needs with …

Abstract Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) experiences several technical challenges such
as limited energy, short transmission range, limited storage capacities, and limited …

We focus on the problem of managing the energy consumption of a cellular network tailored
to cover rural and low-income areas. The considered architecture exploits Unmanned Aerial …

Nowadays, applications involving multiple robotic systems connected through a wireless
network-to perform tasks together-have an increased research interest. Unmanned Aerial …

In mobile wireless sensor network (MWSN), the lifetime of the network largely depends on
energy efficient routing protocol. In the literature, cluster leader (CL) is selected based on …
