In many robotic tasks, such as autonomous drone racing, the goal is to travel through a set of waypoints as fast as possible. A key challenge for this task is planning the time-optimal trajectory, which is typically solved by assuming…

Using drones as flying base stations is a promising approach to enhance the network coverage and area capacity by moving supply towards demand when required. However deployment of such base stations can face some restrictions that need to…

We explore an end-to-end (including access and backhaul links) UAV-assisted wireless communication system, considering both uplink and downlink traffics, with the goal of supporting demand of the Ground Users (GUs) using the minimum number…

With recent advancements in drone technology, researchers are now considering the possibility of deploying small cells served by base stations mounted on flying drones. A major advantage of such drone small cells is that the operators can…

The market size of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs, a.k.a drones) can reach up to 10% of the global market value. In particular, drone delivery is one of the most attractive applications. The growing number of drones requires appropriate…

Many drone-related applications (e.g., drone-aided video capture, drone traffic and safety management) require group communications between drones to efficiently disseminate data or reliably deliver critical information, making use of the…

Problem definition: Drones, despite being acknowledged as a transformative force in the city logistics sector, are unable to execute the \textit{last-meter delivery} (unloading goods directly to customers' doorsteps) due to airspace…

This paper presents a new approach for formulating the delivery problem by drones with general energy consumption models where the drones visit a set of places to deliver parcels to customers. Drones can perform multiple trips that start…
