Abstract

Evidence of the IoT is expanding the number of connected devices, including UAVs. UAVs overcome the flaws in the physical IoT infrastructure already in place. Low-altitude views are expected to be dominant swiftly in urban areas. In a short period of time, they are able to cover a large area and distribute goods and information around the globe. Additionally, how to provide a safe and secure UAV operation in high-level traffic circumstances is also a topic of investigation. When operating an UAV in a limited area, the IoLoUA system is used to maintain order. Additionally, it aids with node exploration. Basic principles that can be used to create new structural designs are analysed for both networks (IoLoUA). There has been an explanation of the IoLoUA strategy’s approach to implementation so far. Among the issues covered in this article are UAV-generated IoT data collection and delivery, security threats, and typical workflow approaches. This work presents a theoretical model of future design evolution.
