Abstract The drawbacks of the traditional multi-hop structure of wireless sensor networks (WSNS) are susceptible to reflection, scattering and diffraction, serious attenuation of signal intensity and phase deviation due to various obstacles in cultivated land environment and mountains. In this paper, the wireless signal intensity is measured and curve fitting is done respectively in both open environment and obstacle-environment with both sending and receiving height of 0 m, 1 m, and 2 m. It is found out that packet loss probability is too high when an obstacle exists. In such a case, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) More >
