Swarm-based Drone-as-a-Service (SDaaS) for Delivery (2005.06952v1)
Published 29 Apr 2020 in cs.NI
Abstract: We propose a novel framework for composing Swarm-based Drone-as-a-Service (SDaaS) for delivery. Two composition approaches, i.e., sequential and parallel are designed considering the different behaviors of drone swarms. The proposed framework considers various constraints, e.g., recharging time and limited battery to meet delivery deadlines. We propose SDaaS composition algorithms using a modified A* algorithm. A cooperative behavior model is incorporated to reduce recharging and waiting time in a delivery. Experimental results prove the efficiency of the proposed approach.
