Abstract

With advancements in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, the utilization of UAVs for data collection and transmission has become widespread in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In this paper, the energy consumption of UAVs, the integrity of data collection and full coverage and so on are taken into account. Consequently, a dynamic UAV data collection model is formulated, with the objectives of minimizing the number of UAVs, reducing their flight distances, and optimizing service quality within WSNs. To address this model, the data collection nodes are initially determined using the Kmeans algorithm, followed the petal algorithm is proposed to search for the optimal flight route of UAVs. Finally, experimental comparisons were conducted, involving four test problems with different scales of sensors and five classic path planning algorithms, in comparison with the algorithm proposed in this paper. The results consistently demonstrate that the proposed algorithm yields better solution outcomes, effectively addressing the challenge of the UAV-assisted data collection.
