About this ebook
Wireless Communication Networks Supported by Autonomous UAVs and Mobile Ground Robots covers wireless sensor networks and cellular networks. For wireless sensor networks, the book presents approaches using mobile robots or UAVs to collect sensory data from sensor nodes. For cellular networks, it discusses the approaches to using UAVs to work as aerial base stations to serve cellular users. In addition, the book covers the challenges involved in these two networks, existing approaches (e.g., how to use the public transportation vehicles to play the role of mobile sinks to collect sensory data from sensor nodes), and potential methods to address open questions. - Gives a comprehensive understanding of the development of mobile robot-supported wireless communication approaches - Provides the latest approaches of mobile robot-supported wireless communication, including scheduling approaches with multiple robots and the online and reactive navigation algorithm - Covers interesting research scenarios that include the system model, problem statement, solution and results so that readers will be able to design their own system - Presents unresolved research issues and future research directions
