Abstract
Awireless sensor network utilizes small sensors with a low cost and low power being deployed over a wide area. They monitor the surrounding environment and gather the associated information to transmit it to a base station via multi-hop transmission. Most of the research has mainly focused on static sensors that are located in a fixed position. Unlike a wireless sensor network based on static sensors, we can exploit drone-based technologies for more efficient wireless networks in terms of coverage and energy. In this paper, we introduce a transmission power model and a video encoding power model to design the network environment. We also explain a priority mapping scheme, and deploy drones oriented for network coverage and energy consumption. Through our simulations, this research shows coverage and energy improvements in adrone-based wireless sensor network with fewer sensors, compared to astatic sensor-based wireless sensor network. Concretely, coverage increases by 30% for thedrone-based wireless sensor network with the same number of sensors. Moreover, we save an average of 25% with respect to the total energy consumption of the network while maintaining the coverage required.
