Abstract

In this paper, we consider a single-cell cellular network with a number of cellular users (CUs) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), in which multiple UAVs upload their collected data to the base station (BS). Two transmission modes are considered to support the multi-UAV communications, i.e., UAV-to-network (U2N) and UAV-to-UAV (U2U) communications. Specifically, the UAV with a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for the U2N link uploads its collected data directly to the BS through U2N communication, while the UAV with a low SNR for the U2N link can transmit data to a nearby UAV through underlaying U2U communication for the sake of quality of service. We first propose a cooperative UAV sense-and-send protocol to enable the UAV-to-X communications, and then formulate the subchannel allocation and UAV speed optimization problem to maximize the uplink sum-rate. To solve this NP-hard problem efficiently, we decouple it into three sub-problems: U2N and cellular user (CU) subchannel allocation, U2U subchannel allocation, and UAV speed optimization. An iterative subchannel allocation and speed optimization algorithm (ISASOA) is proposed to solve these sub-problems jointly. The simulation results show that the proposed ISASOA can upload 10% more data than the greedy algorithm.

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.
