Interlinking Unmanned Aerial Vehicles with Wireless Sensor Networks for Improved Monitoring in Large Area Monitoring
نویسندگان
چکیده
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) comprising a large number of sensing nodes deployed within the area of interest, are able to measure, process and share specific parameters. Besides enabling effective area coverage, recent research has proven that unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) represent a viable addition to large area monitoring through remote sensing and data collecting functions. The proposed interlinking between autonomous UAV and on-ground WSNs overcomes the limitations that prevent sensing nodes from adequately managing large scale applications. The article presents an overview regarding state of art WSNs and UAVs technologies used for large area monitoring, introduces a novel approach for smart data collecting and further explores the innetwork data paradigm. Various simulations have been implemented and analyzed from a comparative standpoint. Keywords—energy eficiency; large area monitoring; wireless sensor network; unmanned aerial vehicle; clustering; consensus
