 d Near Terrestrial Networks\n\nDistinguished Lecturer: Dr. Sumit Chakravar
 ty\, Kennesaw State University\n\nAbstract:\n\nWith the widespread adoptio
 n and maturity of the Internet of Remote Things (IoRT) in the commercial s
 ectors\, diverse applications of new IoT technologies can be implemented i
 n almost every environment. Data-driven applications in remote areas\, lik
 e environmental monitoring and surveillance applications\, pose immense ch
 allenges as terrestrial access networks are not capable of serving these I
 oT devices due to their geographical locations.\n\nApart from the communic
 ation challenge\, there is the issue of maintaining a stable power supply 
 to many low-power sensor devices with minimum human intervention. The crit
 ical point is that IoT devices must be able to fulfill their duties autono
 mously\, which is the prime objective of IoT. The feasibility of the use o
 f Energy Harvesting (EH) IoT devices by utilizing ambient energy (RF\, sol
 ar\, etc.) as the power supply might provide the solution for these energy
 -constrained sensor devices to operate under self-sustainable conditions. 
 This thesis discusses the applicability of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) 
 in remote Wireless Sensor Networks for data gathering and energy harvestin
 g. In this presentation\, we propose an online UAV hovering time allocatio
 n and data transmission or energy harvesting frame selection algorithm in 
 a dynamic cluster-based sensor network. A combined approach of reinforceme
 nt learning and Lyapunov optimization is considered to overcome the energy
  scarcity problem and maintain queue stability of the sensor nodes to achi
 eve a stable system with a prolonged lifetime.\n\nBio: Dr. Sumit Chakravar
 ty is an Electrical and Computer Engineering Associate Professor with more
  than 15 years of experience in academia and industry. He has spent five y
 ears as a tenured faculty performing teaching and research in Communicatio
 ns/ signal processing and Deep Learning at Kennesaw State University. He h
 as collaborated with multiple experts\, students\, and other collaborators
  in this position to publish cutting-edge research articles\, research pro
 jects\, and grant proposals. His long-term goal is to bring my Communicati
 ons and Machine Learning expertise to the next generation of communication
  systems and standards.\n\nIf help is needed\, please connect with:\n\nPro
