UAV Flight Speed Control to Accommodate Multiple IoT Devices in UAV Multi-Hop Communications

In order to establish long-distance communication between a base station and one IoT device such as a remote harvesting robot, DTN (delay tolerant networking) based VAV multi-hop communications system has been studied. In this paper, we propose VAV flight speed control method to accommodate communication between the base station and multiple IoT devices in the DTN based VAV multi-hop communications system. We evaluate the throughput performances considering the connection time between the VAV and the base station/IoT devices.
