The adoption and integration of drones in communication networks is becoming reality thanks to the deployment
of advanced solutions for IoT and cellular communication relay
schemes. However, using drones introduces new energy constraints and scheduling issues in the dynamic management of
the network topology, due to the need to call back and recharge,
or substitute, drones that run out of energy. In this paper, we
describe the design of a drone recharging scheme for realistically limited flight time of drones, and leverage the presence
of recharging stations. Indeed, drones need to be recharged
periodically, and maximizing the operational time of drones is
paramount to minimize the size of the fleet of drones to be devoted
to a drone mission, hence its cost. We design Homogeneous
Rotating Recharge (HRR), an optimal drone recharging
scheduling that extends the coverage of a cellular network. HRR
minimizes the number of back-up drones needed to guarantee a
fixed number of operational drones, so as to support the operation
of an underlying cellular network. Results show that operating a
network of drones with our scheme provides reliable and stable
performance over time [-]
