Energy Efficiency Characterization in Heterogeneous IoT System With UAV Swarms Based on Wireless Power Transfer

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarm together with a large-scale heterogeneous Internet of Things (IoT) network consisting of macrocells and energy-constrained IoT transmitters (IoT-Ts) is investigated. The UAVs are utilized as flying robot swarms that intelligently transfer energy to the energy-c...
