Wireless Communication Networks Supported by Autonomous UAVs and Mobile Ground Robots

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.
