Abstract
The deployment of UAVs is one of the key challenges in UAV-based communications while using UAVs for IoT applications. In this article, a new scheme for energy efficient data collection with a deadline time for the Internet of things (IoT) using the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) is presented. We provided a new data collection method, which was set to collect IoT node data by providing an efficient deployment and mobility of multiple UAV, used to collect data from ground internet of things devices in a given deadline time. In the proposed method, data collection was done with minimum energy consumption of IoTs as well as UAVs. In order to find an optimal solution to this problem, we will first provide a mixed integer linear programming model (MILP) and then we used a heuristic to solve the time complexity problem. The results obtained in the simulation results indicate the optimal performance of the proposed scheme in terms of energy consumption and the number of used UAVs.
Highlights
It is expected that millions of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which are called drone, become active in our daily life in recent future and provide wide services (1)
UAV can play a key role in the internet of things (IoT), which consist of devices with a small battery size, such as sensors and health monitors (3)
To minimize the UAV deployment cost, at first, the IoT network is split into clusters with each cluster has cluster head, cluster heads are considered as the location of UAVs
Summary
It is expected that millions of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which are called drone, become active in our daily life in recent future and provide wide services (1). UAV can play a key role in the IoTs, which consist of devices with a small battery size, such as sensors and health monitors (3). Because of their energy constraints, these devices can not normally be transmitted over long distances. In such IoT scenarios, UAVs can move dynamically towards IoT devices, collect IoT data and transfer it to other devices that are outside the communication range of the IoT devices. In this case, UAVs play the role of mobile for IoT networks (4)
