Abstract
In this paper, we use a quadrotor-based mobile sink to gather sensor data from the terrestrial wireless sensor network. By analyzing the features of the mobile sink node, we theoretically studied the constraints of trajectory, velocity, height and data amount which the mobile sink can send. According to these analysis results, we propose a data acquisition strategy bases on the trajectory, speed and height of the controlled mobile sink. A plenty of simulations showed that the relationships between the sojourning time, transmission delay, packet loss rate and the mobile trajectory, velocity, etc under this approach, which founded a theoretical basis for such applications.
