Reihe: Unmanned System Technologies

This book addresses the major challenges in realizing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in IoT-based Smart Cities. The challenges tackled vary from cost and energy efficiency to availability and service quality. The aim of this book is to focus on both the design and implementation aspects of the UAV-based approaches in IoT-enabled smart cities’ applications that are enabled and supported by wireless sensor networks, 5G, and beyond. The contributors mainly focus on data delivery approaches and their performability aspects. This book is meant for readers of varying disciplines who are interested in implementing the smart planet/environments vision via wireless/wired enabling technologies.

- Involves the most up to date unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) assessment and evaluation approaches

- Includes innovative operational ideas in agriculture, surveillance, rescue, etc.

- Pertains researchers, scientists, engineers and practitioners in the field of smart cities, IoT, and communications
