Abstract

Mobile Gateway for Wireless Sensor Networks utilizing drones Wireless Sensor Networks have good uses in applications running in remote locations, where maintenance is difficult. Wireless sensor network islands often need a connection with a gateway in order to communicate with the outside world, but this cannot be provided in all circumstances. A different approach to connecting wireless sensor networks is to use mobile gateways that can reach the remote locations where sensor devices are running. Our design includes a gateway mounted on an unmanned aircraft that collects data on its flight path.
