Drones have been widely used in Internet of Things tasks, and rational planning of UAV paths can improve mission efficiency while reducing the risk of potential third-party impacts. Existing of existing UAV data acquisition efforts take all efficiency and safety goals into a single decision, And view it as a multi-objective optimization problem, While the single-decision model ignores the connection between the optimization goals and multiple decision-makers, For this purpose, for the first time, the efficiency-based DM (decision-maker, DM) and safe DM UAV multi-decision multi-target trajectory optimization (BP-UAVTO, Biparty Multiobjective UAV Trajectory Optimization) Model, For this problem, Improvement to the existing multi-target immunization algorithms, BP-series algorithm to find the Pareto optimal solution of the BP-UAVTO model, As close as possible to the Pareto front of each decision. Then it is decoupled into a problem of data acquisition time minimization in the wide area Internet of Things without accurate SN location information, and a greedy algorithm based on the division unit (Greedy algorithm based on dividing units, GA-BODN) is proposed to minimize the completion time of parallel data acquisition of multiple drones in a large range. Simulation results show that the Pareto optimal solution of BP-algorithm is closer to the Pareto front of each decision than the ordinary multi-objective evolution algorithm such as NSGA-II and the multi-decision multi-objective evolution algorithm such as OptMPNDS and OptMPNDS2. The GA-BODN algorithm outperformed the average simulation time by the statistical simulation method and was close to the lower bound on the completion time of data acquisition.
Traditional communication Optical Cable Line Inspections (OCLI) often use labor inspection method, but traditional method will take long inspection time and high labor consumption. In contrast, OCLI by unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) inspections have many advantages, such as good visibility, low cost, flexibility and high efficiency. There are many key issues and technologies need to be addressed, which significantly impact the execution of OCLI tasks. This paper proposes a UAV OCLI task planning method based on the combination of the Analytic Hierarchy Process and Genetic Algorithm, and its feasibility and practicality are verified through simulation experiments.
The Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) is considered to be a promising technology to improve the traffic congestion. However, to realize its expected benefits, the real-time, accurate and forward-looking guidance message are required. Based on this, considering various practical constraints and the characteristics of the CAVs fully, multiple distributed edge computing servers are deployed at the network edge to provide the real-time storage and computation support in our paper. Furtherly, based on the fruitful deployment for edge computing servers, an efficient traffic flow online prediction model is constructed, which can adaptively modify according to the dynamic changes of the actual road traffic state, thus providing more accurate and forward-looking results. The simulation results based on MATLAB platform show the proposed deployment scheme for edge computing servers only needs more cost than the enumeration method. Moreover, compared with other baseline methods, the online prediction model proposed can improve 37.5%–76.9% in terms of prediction accuracy.
Due to its high flexibility and other advantages,aerial drone base stations can expand the communication support range for ground users and solve the mobile coverage problem of ground mobile users in battlefield environments.Considering the impact of high-level terrain features on radio signals in the battlefield environment,the differentiated communication needs of users,and the energy consumption issues of UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle)base stations,a reinforcement learning communication coverage algorithm based on heterogeneous mobile users(ABS-RL)is proposed to model the channel capacity of ground users,the energy consumption of UAV,and the dynamic deployment of UAV base stations,aiming to provide high-quality communication services for ground users.The simulation results demonstrate that the algorithm offers significant advantages in enhancing the channel capacity for ground users and reducing the total energy consumption of UAV base stations.
To realize the benefits expected and ensure user privacy and data security simultaneously, a cost-efficient edge federated learning (FL) architecture over multiple base stations (BSs) is proposed for the intelligent transportation system (ITS) based on connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs). Firstly, in the proposed FL architecture, the road side units (RSUs) are designed to train the machine learning (ML) model with the BSs equipped with edge servers collaboratively. In this way, since the autonomous vehicles do not participate in model training, the negative impact of unreliable communication caused by vehicle mobility can be eliminated. Then, considering that the limited amount of data involved within the coverage of a single base station (BS), the FL architecture over multiple BSs at network edge is proposed for better learning performance. Along this line, the joint edge aggregation and association problem is studied, and a set function optimization problem is formulated with the objective of minimizing the costs considering latency and energy consumption comprehensively. Finally, after analyzing the complexity, monotonicity, and modularity of the problem formulated, the NP-hardness optimization problem is further decomposed and transformed, and an innovative solution is proposed. The abundant simulation results demonstrate the superior performance of the cost-efficient FL architecture proposed.
Millimeter wave (mmWave) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-aided networks have enormous application potential due to their large bandwidth and ultra-high speed, being regarded as an effective technology for improving the reliability of military and civilian fields. However, due to their complex electromagnetic spectrum environment and the sensitivity of mmWaves to blocking effects, its performance analysis faces certain difficulties. This article investigates the coverage and network capacity of mmWave UAV-aided networks under significant blocking effects and complex electromagnetic environments; for this purpose, we equipped each UAV with mmWave antennas featuring adjustable beamwidth and direction. A Matérn hard-core point process (MHCPP) with repulsion constraints was also employed to reflect the minimum distance constraints to isolate the mutual interference between UAVs. Then, using a stochastic geometric analysis, we derived the coverage and capacity characteristics and further obtained a closed-form expression for the network coverage probability. Finally, the simulation results showed that the network throughput could reach 86% when the density of UAVs was half of that of ground base stations (GBSs) in the city center, validating the efficiency and accuracy of our theoretical derivations.

A trajectory optimization algorithm based on user priority for multi UAV collaborative conditions (TOUP) is proposed to address the trajectory problem of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) base stations collecting data from users of different priority levels. We divided the combat area and calculated the optimal data collection path. Based on the number of drone base stations, we divided the tasks and constructed a utility function based on user priority, drone energy consumption, and task completion time factors to optimize the movement trajectory of drone base stations. Simulation analysis shows that, considering user priority, the algorithm effectively balances the overall performance of drone energy consumption and task completion time.
In the application environment of UAV Ad-Hoc network with frequent topology changes and unstable communication links, in order to improve the stability of network routing, this paper proposes SZLS-GPSR (Safe zone link stability GPSR) routing protocol based on the stability of communication safe zone links, aiming at the problems of unstable communication edges and routing repair holes that appear in traditional GPSR algorithms. By setting up a communication safe zone, the projection length, cumulative communication duration and flight direction of nodes in the communication safe zone are comprehensively measured to select the relay node with the most stable link. Moreover, in the peripheral forwarding stage, the problem of path redundancy and routing holes is improved since the factors of the forwarding angle and the degree of adjacent nodes are both taken into account. With the comparison and analysis of NS-3 network simulation platform, it proves that the proposed protocol has more advantages in packet delivery success rate, end-to-end delay and average hops compared with the traditional GPSR and MM-GPSR protocols.

In this article, we study the problem of task selection and scheduling in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-enabled multiaccess edge computing for reconnaissance (ASSUMER). Specifically, taking into account the time-varying priorities of reconnaissance tasks, we investigate how to maximize the overall reconnaissance utility by selecting an appropriate set of tasks and scheduling their execution sequence in the multiaccess edge computing server of the UAV. The ASSUMER problem is a mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problem, which includes both integer and continuous variables and is proved to be NP-hard. To address this challenging problem, we first model the task scheduling subproblem as a single machine scheduling problem with the deterioration effect. We find out that the optimal task scheduling can be solved efficiently given any task selection variables and propose an optimal scheduling algorithm. Second, using the proposed scheduling algorithm, the ASSUMER problem is equivalent to a binary integer programming problem with respect to the task selection variable only. We prove that the objective function falls into the category of the submodular function and transform the original problem into the problem of maximizing submodular function with the energy constraint. Third, combining the proposed scheduling algorithm with submodularity, we design an effective approximation algorithm for the ASSUMER problem and prove that the algorithm has (1 - e(-1))/2 bicriterion approximation guarantee. Finally, simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can improve the overall reconnaissance utility and energy efficiency compared to five benchmark algorithms.

The explosive growth of mobile data makes mobile operators seek the capacity of their cellular network. Besides, the scarcity of spectrum resources brings a great challenge to the development of wireless communication. Therefore, the mobile operator intends to extend LTE technology to the unlicensed spectrum, which is mainly used by Wi-Fi. LAA and LTE-U are two major unlicensed LTE technologies developed for the coexistence with Wi-Fi. Due to different access mechanisms, LAA and LTE-U have different performance trends with the change of the number of Wi-Fi stations. In this paper, we model and analyze the two coexistence modes using the Markov model, and analyze the throughput of the system, the access probability T off and collision probability of LTE and Wi-Fi in the system where the two coexistence methods are applied to the coexistence network. The results show that LAA coexistence method is suitable for coexistence scenarios with low Wi-Fi density, while LTE-U is more suitable for coexistence scenarios with relatively high Wi-Fi density.
With the rapid development of the information age, the licensed frequency bands used by mobile cellular communications have become more crowded, while unlicensed frequency bands still have more spectrum resources available. Therefore, mobile cellular communication operators hope to provide better services to users by shifting some services to unlicensed bands. The current mechanisms to realize the coexistence of WiFi and LTE mainly include License Assisted Access(LAA) technology based on listening before talk(LBT) and LTE-U system by using Carrier-Sensing Adaptive Transmission(CSAT) algorithm. In general, the CSAT algorithm adjusts the duty cycle by increasing or decreasing a fixed length of time of each cycle, which results in some cases that only one cycle cannot accurately set the duty cycle accurately, requiring multiple long enough periods to adjust the duty cycle, thus making the duty cycle setting more reasonable. In this paper, the duty cycle configuration of CSAT, is optimized by Cournot game model. At the same time, using this model, a dynamic algorithm for solving duty cycle based on Cournot game is proposed, which provides an idea for CSAT technology to configure duty cycle. Compared with the original CSAT technology to adjust the duty cycle, the algorithm can shorten the adjustment period, reduce the time delay of 1-4 transmission cycles, and can better adapt to the dynamic network scenarios.
In a multi-UAV system, some collected data should be transmitted to relevant UAVs or ground station for processing when energy resources are insufficient or computation consumption is large. In this paper, we researched the energy-saving strategies for data aggregation on the combination of store-carry-forward (SCF) routing and hop-by-hop routing, which are suitable for large-scale multi-UAV networks, and proposed Single Coalition Strategy (SCS) and Coalition Formation Strategy (CFS) based on the coalition game theory. In SCS, all source UAVs transmit data individually or can form a coalition. The coalition aggregates all data to a ferry UAV for transmission, the ferry choose between SCF routing mode and hop-by-hop routing mode with the help of predicted energy-cost calculation. In CFS, all source UAVs form a coalition structure by coalition formation game (CFG) algorithm according to data amount, location, and network topology. Each coalition can aggregate data to its own ferry, and then the ferry transmits data in the optimized mode. We analyze the performance of SCS and CFS by simulations, the average transmission energy consumption of a UAV in SCS and CFS are about 30% of hop-by-hop routing mode. Based on the results, we recommend that SCS should be used when the application scenario is small and the number of UAVs is limited. In the case where the application scenario is great and the number of UAVs is large, CFS with the Utilitarian order and limited message propagation hops is recommended.
