Recently, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) networks attracts a lot of interest as one of promising research areas since it can be used for a large portfolio of relevant applications. Among several issues in UAV networks, a collision avoidance among multiple UAVs should be addressed due to its significance. Furthermore, a barrier-coverage is considered as an important coverage concept because it is also appropriate for various applications such as intrusion detection and border surveillance. In this paper, we introduce a barrier-coverage system in UAV networks to construct collision-free UAV reinforced barrier. Then, we formally define a problem whose objective is to minimize total moving distance of UAVs such that collision-free is guaranteed among multiple UAVs when they move from initial locations to positions of constructing a reinforced barrier. To solve the problem, we introduce a novel strategy based on dividing a region into zones and describe our proposed approach. Moreover, we discuss future issues for barrier-coverage of UAV networks.

Abstract
Recently, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) networks attracts a lot of interest as one of promising research areas since it can be used for a large portfolio of relevant applications. Among several issues in UAV networks, a collision avoidance among multiple UAVs should be addressed due to its significance. Furthermore, a barrier-coverage is considered as an important coverage concept because it is also appropriate for various applications such as intrusion detection and border surveillance. In this paper, we introduce a barrier-coverage system in UAV networks to construct collision-free UAV reinforced barrier. Then, we formally define a problem whose objective is to minimize total moving distance of UAVs such that collision-free is guaranteed among multiple UAVs when they move from initial locations to positions of constructing a reinforced barrier. To solve the problem, we introduce a novel strategy based on dividing a region into zones and describe our proposed approach. Moreover, we discuss future issues for barrier-coverage of UAV networks.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
