Using drones for communications and transportation is drawing great attention in many practical scenarios, such as package delivery and providing additional wireless coverage. However, the increasing demand for UAVs from industry and…

Inter-connected objects, either via public or private networks are the near future of modern societies. Such inter-connected objects are referred to as Internet-of-Things (IoT) and/or Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). One example of such a…

Drones, also known as unmanned air vehicles (UAVs), have revolutionised various industries, from farming to national security. (Wexler., Lesley. 2016) However, their broad use has revealed a severe weakness in cybersecurity. (Jean-Paul…

5G-enabled drones have potential applications in a variety of both military and civilian settings (e.g., monitoring and tracking of individuals in demonstrations and/or enforcing of social / physical distancing during pandemics such as…

Delivering a parcel from the distribution hub to the customer's doorstep is called the \textit{last-mile delivery} step in delivery logistics. In this paper, we study a hybrid {\it truck-drones} model for the last-mile delivery step, in…

Current drone delivery systems mostly focus on point-to-point package delivery. We present a multi-stop drone service system to deliver packages anywhere anytime within a specified geographic area. We define a skyway network which takes…

We consider the problem of optimizing the distribution operations at a drone hub that dispatches drones to different geographic locations generating stochastic demands for medical supplies. Drone delivery is an innovative method that…

In recent years, the illicit use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for deliveries in restricted area such as prisons became a significant security challenge. While numerous studies have focused on UAV detection or localization, little…

Autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have become essential tools in defense, law enforcement, disaster response, and product delivery. These autonomous navigation systems require a wireless communication network, and of late are deep…

The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) as flying radio access network (RAN) nodes offers a promising complement to traditional fixed terrestrial deployments. More recently yet still in the context of wireless networks, drones have also…

We demonstrate the peer-to-peer impact of drones flying in close proximity. Understanding these impacts is crucial for planning efficient drone delivery services. In this regard, we conducted a set of experiments using drones at varying…

Recently, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), as known as drone, has become an alternative means of package delivery. Although the drone delivery scheduling has been studied in recent years, most existing models are formulated as a single…

Aerial networks, composed of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) acting as Wi-Fi access points or cellular base stations, are emerging as an interesting solution to provide on-demand wireless connectivity to users, when there is no network…

The potential for drone delivery services to transform logistics systems and consumer behavior has gained increasing attention. However, comprehensive empirical evidence on consumer delivery choice behavior within the context of…

In this study, we develop an innovative data-driven optimization approach to solve the drone delivery service planning problem with online demand. Drone-based logistics are expected to improve operations by enhancing flexibility and…

Aerial security means performing security-aimed monitoring and surveillance operations with the help of airborne vehicles. This kind of activities suggest that human officers (security organizations, law enforcement, police etc.) would be…

Recent advances in machine learning have enabled its wide application in different domains, and one of the most exciting applications is autonomous vehicles (AVs), which have encouraged the development of a number of ML algorithms from…

With the advancement in drone technology, in just a few years, drones will be assisting humans in every domain. But there are many challenges to be tackled, communication being the chief one. This paper aims at providing insights into the…

Combining an energy-efficient drone with a high-capacity truck for last-mile package delivery can benefit operators and customers by reducing delivery times and environmental impact. However, directly integrating drone flight dynamics into…

The consumer UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) market has grown significantly over the past few years. Despite its huge potential in spurring economic growth by supporting various applications, the increase of consumer UAVs poses potential…
