Abstract

Drones can be a candidate technology to support on-demand connectivity in scenarios where networking infrastructure can be difficult to deploy or can be expensive. In a context where many terrestrial nodes such as IoT devices need to send data about environment, drones can move in the considered area to collect data sensed by IoT devices. In this case, Delay Tolerant Network is an architecture that can support the intermittent communication between drones and IoT devices and huge amount of data can be collected and forwarded to remote servers to be analyzed. At this purpose, social paradigm and opportunistic communication between IoT devices and Drones can improve the data collection process. Social rank in the IoT networks is considered as a metric to drive the Drone path planning for providing an efficient connectivity and coverage.
