Popis: Internet of Things technologies use many sensors combined with wireless networks for cyber-physical systems in various applications. Mobility is an essential characteristic for many objects that use sensors. In mobile sensor networks, the availability of communication channels is crucial, especially for mission-critical applications. This article presents models for analyzing the availability of sensor services in a wireless network with aerial base station placement (ABSP), considering the real conditions for using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The studied system uses a UAV-assisted mobile edge computing architecture, including ABSP and a ground station for restoring the energy capacity of the UAVs, to maintain the availability of interaction with the sensors. The architecture includes a fleet of additional replacement UAVs to ensure continuous communication coverage for the sensor network during the charging period of the air-based station UAVs. Analytical expressions were obtained to determine the availability of sensor services in the system studied.
