Abstract

Internet of Drones (IoD) has recently gained the attention of the global technological and business community due to the adaptability of drones to a variety of usages and application scenarios. Indeed, UAVs (a.k.a. drones) are already successfully used in many different fields of application such as precision agriculture, search and rescue missions, security and site surveillance services as well as in mission-critical missions. Their use in all the above, and several more, sectors is due to some extremely important advantages, both technical and practical: high mobility, accessibility to places inaccessible by other methods, ability to provide wireless internet access in remote areas or areas where natural disasters have occurred and, of course, low production, use and maintenance costs compared to all possible alternatives, where they exist. In addition, the use of SMEA (from now on they will be referred to as drones for greater convenience) improves the performance parameters of different network architectures such as connection reliability, performance, connectivity, scalability. However, the use of drone networks creates additional issues related to the inherent unreliability of wireless communication, battery life and the high degree of mobility of drones which can cause frequent changes in network topology. This paper will present the current situation regarding studies on IoD, its future prospects, security issues as well as areas in which drones are already used with great success and effectiveness.
