“…Algorithms that consider the battery and energy consumption of UAVs as a constraint have also been studied in the literature. For instance, some works consider a limited availability of energy [112]- [114], and a limited flight time [115] in developing path planning algorithms.…”

The rapid growth of consumer Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is creating promising new business opportunities for cellular operators. On the one hand, UAVs can be connected to cellular networks as new types of user equipment, therefore generating significant revenues for the operators that can guarantee their stringent service requirements. On the other hand, UAVs offer the unprecedented opportunity to realize UAVmounted flying base stations that can dynamically reposition themselves to boost coverage, spectral efficiency, and user quality of experience. Indeed, the standardization bodies are currently exploring possibilities for serving commercial UAVs with cellular networks. Industries are beginning to trial early prototypes of flying base stations or user equipments, while academia is in full swing researching mathematical and algorithmic solutions to address interesting new problems arising from flying nodes in cellular networks. In this article, we provide a comprehensive survey of all of these developments promoting smooth integration of UAVs into cellular networks. Specifically, we survey (i) the types of consumer UAVs currently available off-the-shelf, (ii) the interference issues and potential solutions addressed by standardization bodies for serving aerial users with the existing terrestrial base stations, (iii) the challenges and opportunities for assisting cellular communications with UAV-based flying relays and base stations, (iv) the ongoing prototyping and test bed activities, (v) the new regulations being developed to manage the commercial use of UAVs, and (vi) the cyber-physical security of UAV-assisted cellular communications.

“…When a security guard, for example, notices suspicious behavior, he/she commands the UAV to take a video of the involved people and applies face recognition to verify if someone has a criminal record. The work in [31] found an optimal flying path for UAVs equipped with IoT sensors by using a location-aware multi-layer information map and utility functions based on sensor density, flight time, energy, and risk. Genetic algorithms were used to maximize these utility functions.…”

The Fifth Generation of Mobile Communications (5G) will lead to the growth of use cases demanding higher capacity and a enhanced data rate, a lower latency, and a more flexible and scalable network able to offer better user Quality of Experience (QoE). The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of these use cases. It has been spreading in the recent past few years, and it covers a wider range of possible application scenarios, such as smart city, smart factory, and smart agriculture, among many others. However, the limitations of the terrestrial network hinder the deployment of IoT devices and services. Besides, the existence of a plethora of different solutions (short vs. long range, commercialized vs. standardized, etc.), each of them based on different communication protocols and, in some cases, on different access infrastructures, makes the integration among them and with the upcoming 5G infrastructure more difficult. This paper discusses the huge set of IoT solutions available or still under standardization that will need to be integrated in the 5G framework. UAVs and satellites will be proposed as possible solutions to ease this integration, overcoming the limitations of the terrestrial infrastructure, such as the limited covered areas and the densification of the number of IoT devices per square kilometer.

“…They also consider data aggregation to route information in an energy-efficient way. [27] proposes an optimal flying path scheme for UAV-aided IoT sensor networks. They use a location aware information map with multiple layers and introduce different utility functions based on the sensor density, energy consumption, duration on fly and risk level.…”

“…There are also some studies in the literature that apply GA for aerial systems in order to effectively provide a solution against some objectives. [27] studies an optimal flying scheme in UAV assisted sensor networks and they implement GA approach to solve their multi-objective utility function against provided constraints. [32] deploys GA with ACO approach to provide a collaborative solution against their combinational optimization problem for multi-UAV flight planning with maximum surveillance.…”

My colleagues were always kind to me and my directors always had a great understanding to allocate time for my PhD study. Fourthly, I would also like to acknowledge that BAP Unit of Istanbul Technical University supports my thesis with a project identified by the number: 41757. Lastly and foremost, I would like to thank my lovely family, especially to my wife Müge ÖZÇEVİK, her parents, my sister and my parents. I always felt their unending support in difficult times and I owed all of my achievements to them. In definite, I could not have achieved my current level of success without their support. Thanks for all.
