UAS – WSN SYSTEMS, A PERSPECTIVE ON COMMUNICATION SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

Unmanned systems, artificial intelligence and affordable wireless technologies represent the main drivers for the digital transformation that could have a positive impact for the rural areas development. This article presents today's options for wireless communications technologies for UAV applications. Available solutions, advantages and limitations of implementing UAV precision farming for medium and large scale WSN were reviewed and compared for the reader's benefit. The authors proposed and simulated an optimum cost-efficient communication system architecture and presented its conclusions to validate the proposed communication system.
