Providing coverage for flash crowds is an important application for drone base stations (DBSs). However, any arbitrary crowd is likely to be distributed at a high density. Under the condition for each DBS to serve the same number of ground users, multiple DBSs may be placed at the same horizontal location but different altitudes and will cause severe co-channel interference, to which we refer as the coverage overlapping problem. To solve this problem, we then proposed the data-driven 3D placement (DDP) and the enhanced DDP (eDDP) algorithms. The proposed DDP and eDDP can effectively find the appropriate number, altitude, location, and coverage of DBSs in the serving area in polynomial time to maximize the system sum rate and guarantee the minimum data rate requirement of the user equipment. The simulation results show that, compared with the balanced k-means approach, the proposed eDDP can increase the system sum rate by 200% and reduce the computation time by 50%. In particular, eDDP can effectively reduce the occurrence of the coverage overlapping problem and then outperform DDP by about 100% in terms of system sum rate.

Drone base station (DBS) is a promising technique to extend wireless connections for uncovered users of terrestrial radio access networks (RAN). To improve user fairness and network performance, in this paper, we design 3D trajectories of multiple DB
Ss in the drone assisted radio access networks (DA-RAN) where DBSs fly over associated areas of interests (AoIs) and relay communications between the base station (BS) and users in AoIs. We formulate the multi-DBS 3D trajectory planning and scheduling as a mixed integer non-linear programming (MINLP) problem with the objective of minimizing the average DBS-to-user (D2U) pathloss. The 3D trajectory variations in both horizontal and vertical directions, as well as the state-of-the-art DBS-related channel models are considered in the formulation. To address the non-convexity and NP-hardness of the MINLP problem, we first decouple it into multiple integer linear programming (ILP) and quasi-convex sub-problems in which AoI association, D2U communication scheduling, horizontal trajectories and flying heights of DBSs are respectively optimized. Then, we design a multi-DBS 3D trajectory planning and scheduling algorithm to solve the sub-problems iteratively based on the block coordinate descent (BCD) method. A k-means-based initial trajectory generation and a search-based start slot scheduling are considered in the proposed algorithm to improve trajectory design performance and ensure inter-DBS distance constraint, respectively. Extensive simulations are conducted to investigate the impacts of DBS quantity, horizontal speed and initial trajectory on the trajectory planning results. Compared with the static DBS deployment, the proposed trajectory planning can achieve 10-15 dB reduction on average D2U pathloss, and reduce the D2U pathloss standard deviation by 68%, which indicate the improvements of network performance and user fairness.
The use of drone base stations to provide wireless connectivity for ground terminals is becoming a promising part of future technologies. The design of such aerial networks is however different compared to cellular 2D networks, as antennas from the d
rones are looking down, and the channel model becomes height-dependent. In this paper, we study the effect of antenna patterns and height-dependent shadowing. We consider a random network topology to capture the effect of dynamic changes of the flying base stations. First we characterize the aggregate interference imposed by the co-channel neighboring drones. Then we derive the link coverage probability between a ground user and its associated drone base station. The result is used to obtain the optimum system parameters in terms of drones antenna beamwidth, density and altitude. We also derive the average LoS probability of the associated drone and show that it is a good approximation and simplification of the coverage probability in low altitudes up to 500 m according to the required signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR).
We propose a novel resilient drone service composition framework for delivery in dynamic weather conditions. We use a skyline approach to select an optimal set of candidate drone services at the source node in a skyway network. Drone services are ini
tially composed using a novel constraint-aware deterministic lookahead algorithm using the multi-armed bandit tree exploration. We propose a heuristic-based resilient service composition approach that adapts to runtime changes and periodically updates the composition to meet delivery expectations. Experimental results prove the efficiency of the proposed approach.
Mobile sensor networks are important for several strategic applications devoted to monitoring critical areas. In such hostile scenarios, sensors cannot be deployed manually and are either sent from a safe location or dropped from an aircraft. Mobile
devices permit a dynamic deployment reconfiguration that improves the coverage in terms of completeness and uniformity. In this paper we propose a distributed algorithm for the autonomous deployment of mobile sensors called Push&Pull. According to our proposal, movement decisions are made by each sensor on the basis of locally available information and do not require any prior knowledge of the operating conditions or any manual tuning of key parameters. We formally prove that, when a sufficient number of sensors are available, our approach guarantees a complete and uniform coverage. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the algorithm execution always terminates preventing movement oscillations. Numerous simulations show that our algorithm reaches a complete coverage within reasonable time with moderate energy consumption, even when the target area has irregular shapes. Performance comparisons between Push&Pull and one of the most acknowledged algorithms show how the former one can efficiently reach a more uniform and complete coverage under a wide range of working scenarios.
With the seamless coverage of wireless cellular networks in modern society, it is interesting to consider the shape of wireless cellular coverage. Is the shape a regular hexagon, an irregular polygon, or another complex geometrical shape? Based on fr
actal theory, the statistical characteristic of the wireless cellular coverage boundary is determined by the measured wireless cellular data collected from Shanghai, China. The measured results indicate that the wireless cellular coverage boundary presents an extremely irregular geometrical shape, which is also called a statistical fractal shape. Moreover, the statistical fractal characteristics of the wireless cellular coverage boundary have been validated by values of the Hurst parameter estimated in angular scales. The statistical fractal characteristics of the wireless cellular coverage boundary can be used to evaluate and design the handoff scheme of mobile user terminals in wireless cellular networks.
