Drone Based Method of Connectivity Assurance for Clustered Network

This article presents a problem of poor connectivity of a clustered network and a suggested solution to that problem. Nodes within a clustered network may not connect properly for different reasons. The one presented in this article is related with practical limits of proposed modified weighted clusterization algorithm. Those limits cause node disconnection, mainly at the network edges. The problem may be solved in several ways. One of them has been proposed in this paper. A simulation model assumes using one simple construction drone with an omnidirectional antenna. The simulation results show that such a method has a good potential.
