Abstract The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is widely used in some scenes with high requirements for information freshness. Due to the limited endurance of the UAV, especially in the scenes with large area and dense sensor nodes (SNs), it is difficult for one UAV to complete the data collection task under the condition of ensuring the freshness of SNs' information. Therefore, multiple UAVs are required to cooperate to participate in data collection. In this paper, we study the multi-UAV assisted data collection problem to improve information freshness. We use the Age of Information (AoI) to measure the freshness of information, mainly including the SNs' uploading time, the UAVs' flight time and the data offloading time. The data collection problem is formulated to minimize the SNs' peak AoI and average AoI in multi-UAV assisted wireless sensor networks. Since the problem is complex, we introduce a start-to-end strategy comprising of association and planning to minimize two SNs' AoIs through an iterative three-step process. Firstly, the locations of data collection points (CPs) at which the UAVs hover to collect data and the SN-CP association are determined based on a density-based clustering algorithm. Secondly, the CPs are clustered to form CP clusters, and the CP-UAV association is established. Finally, based on the results of the above two steps, the flight trajectories of the UAVs are optimized by improved ant colony (ACO) algorithm subject to the limited endurance capability. The simulation results show the proposed strategy can optimize the peak-AoI and ave-AoI of SNs to improve the freshness of information.
