Unplanned UAV Trajectory-based Data Collection in Large-scale Sensor Networks

Using the Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) as a mobile sink to collect data in a wireless sensor network is a recent research trend. UAV as a data mule has gained significant attention due to its flexibility in mobility and trajectory designing compared to ground-based mobile sinks. Most of the research that performed UAV-based data collection in sensor networks assumes an optimized UAV trajectory. H...
