Optimization of MANET connectivity via smart deployment/movement of unmanned air vehicles
Abstract
Unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) can provide important communication advantages to ground-based wireless ad hoc networks. In this paper, the location and movement of UAVs are optimized to improve the connectivity of a wireless network. Four types of network connectivity are quantified: global message connectivity, worst-case connectivity, network bisection connectivity, andk-connectivity. The problems of UAV deployment and movement are formulated to improve the different types of connectivity. Both problems areNP-hard. For the deployment case, some heuristic adaptive schemes are proposed to yield simple but effective solutions. In addition, a closed-form solution for the two-node one-UAV case is provided. Fork-connectivity, we propose an algorithm that improves connectivity using Delaunay triangulation. To optimize the UAV movement, an algorithm that tracks changes in the network topology is constructed. The simulation results show that by only deploying a single UAV, the global message network connectivity and the worst-case network connectivity can be improved by up to 109% and 60%, respectively. The network bisection connectivity and thek-connectivity can also be significantly improved.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
