Pasan Samarakkody | University of Ruhuna (original) (raw)
An Electronic and Telecommunications Engineering student soon graduating from the Faculty of Engineering, University of Ruhuna. I have successfully completed my dual industrial training in electronic and telecommunication sectors at Mobitel (Pvt.) Ltd. Engineering Division, and at ZTE Lanka (Pvt.) Ltd. Currently I serve as a Student Instructor at the Department of Electrical & Information Engineering in my faculty.

Most such IoT devices comparatively employ short-range radio access technologies such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to transfer sensor data. When a WSN is situated in a remote region such that neither regular human monitoring is plausible nor Internet coverage is readily available, it requires an alternative method to gather data from sensor nodes. Hence, in this research, an attempt was made to improve the data collection process and monitor the parametric performance of a low power IoT WSN aided by an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The impact of physical parameters related to different sensor node arrangements was investigated to effectively utilize the total flying time of the drone. Subsequently, adjustments were proposed for improvements by referring to previous literature. The Hamiltonian path defined in Graph Theory...
