Radio propagation models for UAVs: what is missing?

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are increasingly used as data collectors for Wireless Sensors Networks (WSN) on the ground. Most current research proposes optimizations for the itinerary creation of a single UAV. Our work, however, proposes a distributed ...

A sensor network has been developed to be used in extensive fields.Nodes are scattered around the field and cannot connect directly each other.A mobile node and an UAV have been designed to collect the data from the ground nodes.Main functions: send ...

Unmanned stratospheric aircraft capable of staying aloft for long periods of time have become a topic of interest in the past years. Several problems are still to be solved to allow for a profitable commercial use of such aircraft. The inherent ...
