Abstract | The rapid development of wireless power transfer technology brings forth innovative vehicle energy solutions and breakthroughs utilizing wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In most existing schemes, wireless rechargeable sensor networks (WRSNs) are generally equipped with one or more wireless charging vehicles (vehicles) to serve sensor nodes (SNs). These schemes solve the energy issue to some extent; however, due to off-road and speed limitations of vehicles, some SNs still cannot be charged in time, negatively affecting the lifetime of the networks. Our work proposes a new WRSN model equipped with one wireless charging drone (drone) with a constrained flight distance coupled with several wireless charging pads (pads) deployed to charge the drone when it cannot reach the subsequent stop. Our model solves this charging issues effectively and overcomes energy capacity limitations of the drone. Thus, a wireless charging pad deployment problem is formulated, which aims to apply the minimum number of pads so that at least one feasible routing path can be established for the drone to reach every SN in a given WRSN. Four feasible heuristics, three based on graph theory and one on geometry, are proposed for this problem. In addition, a novel drone scheduling algorithm, the shortest multi-hop path algorithm, is developed for the drone to serve charging requests with the assistance of pads. We examine the proposed schemes through extensive simulations. The results compare and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed schemes in terms of network density, region size and maximum flight distance. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
