Autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with on-board base station equipment can potentially provide connectivity in areas where the terrestrial infrastructure is overloaded, damaged, or absent. Use cases comprise emergency response, wildfire suppression, surveillance, and cellular communications in crowded events to name a few. A central problem to enable this technology is to place such aerial base stations (AirBSs) in locations that approximately optimize the relevant communication metrics. To alleviate the limitations of existing algorithms, which require intensive and reliable communications among AirBSs or between the AirBSs and a central controller, this paper leverages stochastic optimization and machine learning techniques to put forth an adaptive and decentralized algorithm for AirBS placement without inter-AirBS cooperation or communication. The approach relies on a smart design of the network utility function and on a stochastic gradient ascent iteration that can be evaluated with information available in practical scenarios. To complement the theoretical convergence properties, a simulation study corroborates the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
Mobile base stations on board unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) promise to deliver connectivity to those areas where the terrestrial infrastructure is overloaded, damaged, or absent. A fundamental problem in this context involves determining a minimal
The use of millimeter-wave (mmWave) bands in 5G networks introduce a new set of challenges to network planning. Vulnerability to blockages and high path loss at mmWave frequencies require careful planning of the network to achieve the desired service
Base station (BS) placement in mobile networks is critical to the efficient use of resources in any communication system and one of the main factors that determines the quality of communication. Although there is ample literature on the optimum place
The concept of drone corridors is recently getting more attention to enable connected, safe, and secure flight zones in the national airspace. To support beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations of aerial vehicles in a drone corridor, cellular
Aerial relays have been regarded as an alternative and promising solution to extend and improve satellite-terrestrial communications, as the probability of line-of-sight transmissions increases compared with adopting terrestrial relays. In this paper
