Abstract:
The Internet of Things (IoT) and emerging wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been widely adopted in various fields and are attracting attention. In addition, low power wide area (LPWA) technologies have shown great advances and are applicable to IoT and WSN solutions. LPWA-based WSNs are effective when wireless data transmissions are sent at long periodic time intervals. However, vast amounts of forwarding data cannot be handled due to collision and congestion. To overcome this technical issue, in this paper, we propose a novel cooperative (hybrid) reception scheme using mobile aerial base stations (MBSs) mounted on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Moreover, we fundamentally demonstrate that the proposed mechanism can improve frame-reception probability based on exhaustive computer simulation. As a result, the proposed scheme achieves up to 8.32-times better performance than a comparable scheme without using MBSs.
