Localisation using UAV in RFID and Sensor Network Environment:Needs and Challenges

Abstract

Study in paper accentuates the need of utilising Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAVs) in an Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Sensor Network environment to develop mission critical applications. UAVs can act as a data logger and enable localisation in such an integrated environment, that can help us develop mission critical applications which can be deployed in harsh environments. The paper focuses on investigation and comparison of localisation techniques using UAVs in the given technology space. The need to establish localisation using UAVs, which demands rigorous mathematical models, approaches and experimental setups, is envisaged.
