SAN: Self-Adaptive Navigation for Drone Battery Charging in Wireless Drone Networks

Abstract

This paper introduces an optimal path finding problem for drone battery charging where their batteries should be charged for the travel from a source to a destination as needed. We present a practically reasonable heuristic to solve the problem by monitoring drones' battery status and traffic conditions in real time through a cloud-based service called traffic control center. This study will be the cornerstone of path finding problems for drone battery charging in drone networks.
