Internet of Things has revolutionized the entire world these days. With the advent of the word smart in all the fields, for example, the smart city, huge amount of data gets accumulated every single day. For any application, processing this huge amount of data is very important. Prior to processing, acquisition of this bulk amount of data is very important. In the existing research, there are different ways to collect these data. In this paper, data acquisition using different modern approaches is outlined. These approaches encompass data acquisition using hierarchical deep reinforcement learning, data acquisition using energy efficient UAV, data acquisition using swarm intelligence. This paper outlines these approaches, brings out the assets and liabilities of each one of these approaches for smart com. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. |
