“…Moreover, the average difference in flight distance is expected to dwindle as observation time 𝜔 increases since optimal scheme 𝜎 in the sense of minimizing the number of points of interest does not minimize the flight distance more frequently as 𝜔 increases. The table below summarizes specifications of a common multicopter [24][25][26]. Consider a wireless sensor network that employs such a multicopter as a sink node.…”

In this paper, we consider a wireless sensor network consisting of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) acting as a sink node and a number of sensor nodes scattered uncertainly on the ground. In the network, the UAV flies to a spatial point called point of interest and hovers to collect environmental data from neighboring sensor nodes. Then, the UAV proceeds to the next point of interest. The UAV must gather data from all the sensor nodes. On the other hand, a shorter round-trip air route of the UAV is more preferred since a battery-operated UAV needs regular recharging. To satisfy the requirement and to adhere to the recommendation as well, especially in the situation where only vague locational information about sensor nodes is available, we propose a scheme that follows three steps. First, it covers the sensor field of the wireless sensor network with three categories of hexagonal tessellations. Secondly, it establishes a point of interest at the centroid of each tile. Thirdly, it constructs an air route of the UAV, which visits every point of interest along a Hamiltonian cycle on the induced graph. Next, we develop a closed-form expression for the exact flight distance attained by the proposed scheme. For comparative evaluation, we discover some optimal schemes that minimize the flight distance by completely inspecting all patterns and corroborating the property of Hamiltonicity. The flight distance along the air route constructed by the proposed scheme is found to be only slightly longer than the flight distance yielded by an optimal scheme. Furthermore, the proposed scheme is proven to be practically valid when a common multicopter is employed as the sink node.

Drones are a form of remote-controlled aircraft that can take to the air without the need for a human pilot. An increasing number of people are looking into using drones for a variety of tasks, including but not limited to operations in hazardous areas, environmental monitoring and sensing, aerial spreading of fertilizer and agricultural chemicals, disaster management and transporting goods from one location to another. Drones are receiving a lot of attention for these and other uses. A drone's position and navigation can only be controlled by the remote pilot via radio frequency (RF) transmission between the drone and the remote pilot. In order to facilitate two-way communications between the drone and its operator, it is necessary to keep a tight eye on the telemetry data and supplementary sensor data being sent and received by the drone in real time. Unmanned flying would not be conceivable without a flexible and dependable communication system. Due to the necessity of complete spatial coverage for drone communication, the antenna radiating in an isotropic pattern presents itself as a promising option for unmanned flying. Therefore, microstrip patch antenna is an excellent choice for drone applications.INDEX TERMS Drone communication, antenna design, phased antenna array, patch array, reconfigurable antenna, UWB radar, smart antenna, parasitic patch, triangle array antenna, realized gain, swarm drones, ground station and compact array antenna.

“…The antenna consisted of an array of planar inverted-F antennas, a reflector plane, and a quadrature feed network. The test shows that it can detect aircrafts up to 437 km [30]. Besides antennas, another research designed and prototyped a cards system that is lightweight and small enough to be placed on a UAV, and could create and broadcast a ADS-B message compliant with RTCA DO-282B [31].…”

Unmanned aerial system (UAS) traffic management (UTM) requires each UAS to communicate with each other and to other stakeholders involved in the operation. In practice, there are two types of wireless communication systems established in the UAS community: automatic dependent surveillance broadcast (ADS-B) and remote identification (Remote ID). In between these two systems, there is ADS-B-like communication which leverages using other types of communications available in the market for the purpose of UTM. This review aims to provide an insight into those three systems, based on the published standard documents and latest research development. It also suggests how to construct a feasible communication architecture. The integrative approach is used in this literature review. The review categorization includes definition, data format, technology used, and research applications, and any remaining issues are discussed. The similarities and differences of each system are elaborated, covering practical findings. In addition, the SWOT analysis is conducted based on the findings. Lastly, multi-channel communication for UTM is proposed as a feasible solution in the UTM operation.
