Abstract
This article is devoted to optimizing the data collection mode using UAVs from ground-based measurement network sensors. The problem of optimizing data collection from clustered ground-based sensors using a UAV swarm is formulated and solved. It is shown that the data collection rate can be maximized when there is a direct linear relationship between the bandwidth of the UAV data reception channel and the intensity of white Gaussian noise in the receiving channel.
Keywords: measuring sensors, data collection, UAVs, data collection speed
