UAV Connectivity Maintenance in Wireless Sensor Networks
摘要
The chapter is dedicated to maintaining of UAVs connectivity in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The difference of the developed method from the known ones is that for the first time new approaches to network clustering are proposed (a new set of metrics for selecting head nodes to achieve certain target functions of monitoring data collection management, the use of improved rules for finding energy-efficient cluster topologies by the method of directed search of options and energy-dependent metrics for route selection), which allows improving the results for certain indicators from 5 to 15% compared to existing data collection methods of the corresponding class.
