Abstract Internet of Things (IoT) generates unlimited data, which should be collected and
forwarded towards a central controller (CC) for further processing and decision-making …

Thanks to the advantages of flexible deployment and high mobility, unmanned aerial
vehicles (UAVs) have been widely applied in the areas of disaster management, agricultural …

Over the past decade, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have provided pervasive, efficient,
and cost-effective solutions for data collection and communications. Their excellent mobility …

Maintaining freshness of data collection in Internet-of-Things (IoT) networks has attracted
increasing attention. By taking into account age-of-information (AoI), we investigate the …

The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is widely used in some scenes with high requirements
for information freshness. Due to the limited endurance of the UAV, especially in the scenes …

Thanks to the inherent characteristics of flexible mobility and autonomous operation,
unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) will inevitably be integrated into 5G/B5G cellular networks …

The high mobility of Internet unmanned aerial vehicles (IUAVs) has attracted attention in the
