Summary:
For upcoming home delivery services using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), we built a new radio multi-hop network overlaid on a smart meter network that transfer only electric energy information. In this method, UAV follows the topology of the navigation virtual network overlaid on the physical smart meter network. We establish a service management control technology without image analysis and map information processing, which consume precious electricity of UAV as well as the navigation technique based on the routing technology. The current distance between the UAV and each smart meter network node is measured by radio electric field strength to grasp the position of the UAV in the network. We assume a two-layered network model; a network of nodes in scattered residential area, which is a safer navigation route, and an access network of nodes in a population-concentrated area. Then we propose methods to determine moving directions toward the next hop node on the data-link layer and the end node on the network layer, which is the target destination. We implemented the test system via software and verified the effectiveness of our proposed methods.
