As the integration of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) into visible light communications (VLC) can offer many benefits for massive-connectivity applications and services in 5G and beyond, this work considers a UAV-assisted VLC using non-orthogonal multiple-access. More specifically, we formulate a joint problem of power allocation and UAVs placement to maximize the sum rate of all users, subject to constraints on power allocation, quality of service of users, and UAVs position. Since the problem is non-convex and NP-hard in general, it is difficult to be solved optimally. Moreover, the problem is not easy to be solved by conventional approaches, e.g., coordinate descent algorithms, due to channel modeling in VLC. Therefore, we propose using harris hawks optimization (HHO) algorithm to solve the formulated problem and obtain an efficient solution. We then use the HHO algorithm together with artificial neural networks to propose a design which can be used in real-time applications and avoid falling into the local minima trap in conventional trainers. Numerical results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm and further demonstrate that the proposed algorithm/HHO trainer is superior to several alternative schemes and existing metaheuristic algorithms.

Integrating unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) to non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) visible light communications (VLC) exposes many potentials over VLC and NOMA-VLC systems. In this circumstance, user grouping is of importance to reduce the NOMA deco ding complexity when the number of users is large; however, this issue has not been considered in the existing study. In this paper, we aim to maximize the weighted sum-rate of all the users by jointly optimizing UAV placement, user grouping, and power allocation in downlink NOMA-VLC systems. We first consider an efficient user clustering strategy, then apply a swarm intelligence approach, namely Harris Hawk Optimization (HHO), to solve the joint UAV placement and power allocation problem. Simulation results show outperformance of the proposed algorithm in comparison with four alternatives: OMA, NOMA without pairing, NOMA-VLC with fixed UAV placement, and random user clustering.

This paper addresses robust beamforming design for rate splitting multiple access (RSMA)-aided multiple-input single-output (MISO) visible light communication (VLC) networks. In particular, since the channel capacity of VLC is yet unknown, we derive the first theoretical bound of channel capacity of RSMA-aided VLC networks, i.e., achievable rates with closed-form expressions. For the perfect channel state information (CSI) scenario, we investigate the beamforming design to minimize the transmitted power of RSMA-aided VLC networks under the quality of service (QoS) constraint of each user and the optical power constraints, and propose a constrained-convex-concave programming (CCCP)-based beamforming design algorithm to obtain high-quality beamformers. Moreover, for the imperfect CSI scenario, we propose a robust CCCP-based beamforming design scheme for RSMA-aided VLC networks by exploiting semidefinite relaxation (SDR) technique and S-lemma. Numerical results show that the proposed RSMA schemes offer a significant spectral efficiency gain over the existing space-division multiple access (SDMA) scheme and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) scheme.
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are emerging in commercial spaces and will support many applications and services, such as smart agriculture, dynamic network deployment, and network coverage extension, surveillance and security. The unmanned aircraft system (UAS) traffic management (UTM) provides a framework for safe UAV operation integrating UAV controllers and central data bases via a communications network. This paper discusses the challenges and opportunities for machine learning (ML) for effectively providing critical UTM services. We introduce the four pillars of UTM---operation planning, situational awareness, status and advisors and security---and discuss the main services, specific opportunities for ML and the ongoing research. We conclude that the multi-faceted operating environment and operational parameters will benefit from collected data and data-driven algorithms, as well as online learning to face new UAV operation situations.

In this letter, we propose to employ reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) for enhancing the D2D underlaying system performance. We study the joint power control, receive beamforming, and passive beamforming for RIS assisted D2D underlaying cell ular communication systems, which is formulated as a sum rate maximization problem. To address this issue, we develop a block coordinate descent method where uplink power, receive beamformer and refection phase shifts are alternatively optimized. Then, we provide the closed-form solutions for both uplink power and receive beamformer. We further propose a quadratic transform based semi-definite relaxation algorithm to optimize the RIS phase shifts, where the original passive beamforming problem is translated into a separable quadratically constrained quadratic problem. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed RIS assisted design significantly improves the sum-rate performance.
Deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is recently getting significant attention due to a variety of practical use cases, such as surveillance, data gathering, and commodity delivery. Since UAVs are powered by batteries, energy efficient commu nication is of paramount importance. In this paper, we investigate the problem of lifetime maximization of a UAV-assisted network in the presence of multiple sources of interference, where the UAVs are deployed to collect data from a set of wireless sensors. We demonstrate that the placement of the UAVs play a key role in prolonging the lifetime of the network since the required transmission powers of the UAVs are closely related to their locations in space. In the proposed scenario, the UAVs transmit the gathered data to a primary UAV called textit{leader}, which is in charge of forwarding the data to the base station (BS) via a backhaul UAV network. We deploy tools from spectral graph theory to tackle the problem due to its high non-convexity. Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed method can significantly improve the lifetime of the UAV network.
