This book discusses the potential of the Internet of Unmanned Things (Io UT), which is considered a promising paradigm resulting in numerous applications including shipment of goods, home package delivery, crop monitoring, agricultural surveillance, and rescue operations. The authors discuss how Io UT nodes collaborate with each other in ad hoc manner through a Line-of-Sight (Lo S) link to exchange data packets. Also discussed is how Unmanned Arial Vehicles (UAVs) can communicate with fixed ground stations, with an air traffic controller, or through a Non-Line-of-Sight (NLo S) link with a satellite-aided controller, generally based on preloaded missions. The authors go on to cover how to tackle issues that arise with dissimilar communication technologies. They cover how various problems can appear in inter-UAV and UAV-to-X communications including energy management, lack of security and the unreliability of wireless communication links, and handover from Lo S to NLo S, and vice versa. In this book, the editors invited front-line researchers and authors to submit research exploring emerging technologies for Io UT and mission-based networking and how to overcome challenges.
