Abstract
The task of gathering data from nodes within mobile ad-hoc wireless sensor networks presents an enduring challenge. Conventional strategies employ customized routing protocols tailored to these environments, with research focused on refining them for improved efficiency in terms of throughput and energy utilization. However, these elements are interconnected, and enhancements in one often come at the expense of the other. An alternative data collection approach involves the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). In contrast to traditional methods, UAVs directly collect data from mobile nodes, bypassing the need for routing. While existing research predominantly addresses static nodes, this paper proposes an evolutionary based, innovative path selection approach based on future position prediction of caching enabled mobile ad-hoc wireless sensor network nodes for UAV data collection, aimed at maximizing node encounters and gathering the most valuable information in a single trip. The proposed technique is evaluated for different movement models and parameter configurations.
