Abstract

Ensuring communication infrastructures always alive during disaster mitigation and recovery is of paramount importance. In this case, Unmanned Aerial vehicle (UAV) will be the ideal substitute for the malfunctioning ground base station due to disaster. Henceforth, we suggest a multi-UAV and Search and Rescue (SAR) collaboration model in this letter. To improve its connectivity, we propose an optimal SAR elevation angle for the multi-UAV and SARs to administer larger disaster areas effectively and efficiently. We evaluate the performance of the proposed model in terms of path loss, throughput, and coverage probability. The results demonstrate that the proposed model achieves a significant enhancement in serving the SARs. © 2021 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
