Autonomous UAV 3D trajectory optimization and transmission scheduling for sensor data collection on uneven terrains

This paper considers a time-constrained data collection problem from a network of ground sensors located on uneven terrain by an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), a typical Unmanned Aerial System (UAS). The ground sensors harvest renewable energy and are equipped with batteries and data buffers. The gr...
