UAV Networking

UAV networking focuses on enabling efficient communication and data acquisition among unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and ground sensors, primarily to improve the speed, robustness, and cost-effectiveness of data collection in diverse applications like disaster response and precision agriculture. Current research emphasizes optimizing UAV trajectories and data collection schedules, often employing deep reinforcement learning and mean-field game theory to address challenges like packet loss and age of information. These advancements are crucial for realizing the full potential of UAV-based sensor networks in various sectors, improving data quality and operational efficiency.
