This thesis investigates efficiency-aware and energy-aware data-collection problems by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with limited-capacity battery, in a clustered robot network. In each cluster, a cluster head (CH) robot allocates tasks to remaining robots and collects data from them. Firstly, we consider this problem by focusing on minimizing energy consumption of UAV coupled to minimum cost data collection from CH robots by visiting optimal portion of CH robots. UAV decides the CH robots to visit by considering both their locations and its battery capacity. If it cannot visit all CH robots, each nonvisited CH robot forwards its data to another CH robot. Cost optimization includes decision of transmission paths of transmitting robots. Optimal approach is derived, and total energy consumption of CH robots are compared for various numbers of clusters under different strategies. Secondly, we consider the problem by defining the priority set of CH robots which UAV needs to visit. We aim to minimize the total energy consumption of CH robots by visiting optimally a portion of CH robots including priority set. Energy consumptions of CH robots under different strategies are evaluated for various numbers of CH robots and priority sets. Thirdly, we tackle the problem by considering not only different locations but also different data efficiencies for different CH robots. We aim to minimize total joint cost of energy consumption and data efficiencies of CH robots by visiting optimal set of CH robots. Total joint costs of CH robots under different strategies are evaluated for various numbers of CH robots.

Energy-aware data collection is of paramount importance for robotic and wireless sensor networks. Although static sink-aided cluster-based protocols provide energy-efficient solutions, UAV-aided approaches can be considered as better alternatives to reduce energy consumption while data acquisition compared with static sinks. Most of the existing UAV-driven solutions have not considered a limit on battery capacity of the UAV, which needs to be considered in a practical manner. This paper investigates energy-...

Distributed sensor networks have been discussed for more than 30 years, but the vision of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) has been brought into reality only by the rapid advancements in the areas of sensor design, information technologies, and wireless networks that have paved the way for the proliferation of WSNs. The unique characteristics of sensor networks introduce new challenges, amongst which prolonging the sensor lifetime is the most important. WSNs have seen a tremendous growth in various applicati...
Wireless Backhaul in 5G and Beyond: Issues, Challenges and Opportunities
Tezergil, Berke; Onur, Ertan (2022-1-01)
IEEEWith the introduction of new technologies such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), High Altitude Platform Station (HAPS), Millimeter Wave (mmWave) frequencies, Massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (mMIMO), and beamforming, wireless backhaul is expected to be an integral part of the 5G networks. While this concept is nothing new, it was shortcoming in terms of performance compared to the fiber backhauling. However, with these new technologies, fiber is no longer the foremost technology for backhauling. W...
