We consider a wireless network using a drone as a sink node collecting data from sensor nodes is considered. Since a drone is expected to cover the large area, the scheduling of the service area is essential. In this paper, we propose an optimal service area scheduling for a drone network. The service area is divided into sections and the effect of such scheduling is analyzed. Simulation results show that our optimization algorithm can find the optimal scheduling policy to maximize the network throughput.
