The deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is proliferating as they are effective, flexible and cost-efficient devices for a variety of applications ranging from natural disaster recovery to delivery of goods. We investigate a transmission mechanism aiming to improve the data rate between a base station (BS) and a user equipment through deploying multiple relaying UAVs. We consider the effect of interference, which is incurred by the nodes of another established communication network. Our primary goal is to design the 3D trajectories and power allocation for the UAVs to maximize the data flow while the interference constraint is met. The UAVs can reconfigure their locations to evade the unintended/intended interference caused by reckless/smart interferers. We also consider the scenario in which smart jammers chase the UAVs to degrade the communication quality. In this case, we investigate the problem from the perspective of both UAV network and smart jammers. An alternating-maximization approach is proposed to address the joint 3D trajectory design and power allocation problem. We handle the 3D trajectory design by resorting to spectral graph theory and subsequently address the power allocation through convex optimization techniques. Finally, we demonstrate the efficacy of our proposed method through simulations.

An integrated access and backhaul (IAB) network architecture can enable flexible and fast deployment of next-generation cellular networks. However, mutual interference between access and backhaul links, small inter-site distance and spatial dynamics of user distribution pose major challenges in the practical deployment of IAB networks. To tackle these problems, we leverage the flying capabilities of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as hovering IAB-nodes and propose an interference management algorithm to maximize the overall sum rate of the IAB network. In particular, we jointly optimize the user and base station associations, the downlink power allocations for access and backhaul transmissions, and the spatial configurations of UAVs. We consider two spatial configuration modes of UAVs: distributed UAVs and drone antenna array (DAA), and show how they are intertwined with the spatial distribution of ground users. Our numerical results show that the proposed algorithm achieves an average of $2.9times$ and $6.7times$ gains in the received downlink signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) and overall network sum rate, respectively. Finally, the numerical results reveal that UAVs cannot only be used for coverage improvement but also for capacity boosting in IAB cellular networks.
We consider unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted wireless communication employing UAVs as relay nodes to increase the throughput between a pair of transmitter and receiver. We focus on developing effective methods to position the UAV(s) in the sky in the presence of a major source of interference, the existence of which makes the problem non-trivial. First, we consider utilizing a single UAV, for which we develop a theoretical framework to determine its optimal position aiming to maximize the SIR of the system. To this end, we investigate the problem for three practical scenarios, in which the position of the UAV is: (i) vertically fixed, horizontally adjustable; (ii) horizontally fixed, vertically adjustable; (iii) both horizontally and vertically adjustable. Afterward, we consider employing multiple UAVs, for which we propose a cost-effective method that simultaneously minimizes the number of required UAVs and determines their optimal positions so as to guarantee a certain SIR of the system. We further develop a distributed placement algorithm, which can increase the SIR of the system given an arbitrary number of UAVs. Numerical simulations are provided to evaluate the performance of our proposed methods.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can enhance the performance of cellular networks, due to their high mobility and efficient deployment. In this paper, we present a first study on how the user mobility affects the UAVs trajectories of a multiple-UAV as sisted wireless communication system. Specifically, we consider the UAVs are deployed as aerial base stations to serve ground users who move between different regions. We maximize the throughput of ground users in the downlink communication by optimizing the UAVs trajectories, while taking into account the impact of the user mobility, propulsion energy consumption, and UAVs mutual interference. We formulate the problem as a route selection problem in an acyclic directed graph. Each vertex represents a task associated with a reward on the average user throughput in a region-time point, while each edge is associated with a cost on the energy propulsion consumption during flying and hovering. For the centralized trajectory design, we first propose the shortest path scheme that determines the optimal trajectory for the single UAV case. We also propose the centralized route selection (CRS) scheme to systematically compute the optimal trajectories for the more general multiple-UAV case. Due to the NP-hardness of the centralized problem, we consider the distributed trajectory design that each UAV selects its trajectory autonomously and propose the distributed route selection (DRS) scheme, which will converge to a pure strategy Nash equilibrium within a finite number of iterations.

In this paper, we investigate joint vehicle association and multi-dimensional resource management in a vehicular network assisted by multi-access edge computing (MEC) and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). To efficiently manage the available spectrum, co mputing, and caching resources for the MEC-mounted base station and UAVs, a resource optimization problem is formulated and carried out at a central controller. Considering the overlong solving time of the formulated problem and the sensitive delay requirements of vehicular applications, we transform the optimization problem using reinforcement learning and then design a deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG)-based solution. Through training the DDPG-based resource management model offline, optimal vehicle association and resource allocation decisions can be obtained rapidly. Simulation results demonstrate that the DDPG-based resource management scheme can converge within 200 episodes and achieve higher delay/quality-of-service satisfaction ratios than the random scheme.

This work, for the first time, considers confidential data collection in the context of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) wireless networks, where the scheduled ground sensor node (SN) intends to transmit confidential information to the UAV without being intercepted by other unscheduled ground SNs. Specifically, a full-duplex (FD) UAV collects data from each scheduled SN on the ground and generates artificial noise (AN) to prevent the scheduled SNs confidential information from being wiretapped by other unscheduled SNs. We first derive the reliability outage probability (ROP) and secrecy outage probability (SOP) of a considered fixed-rate transmission, based on which we formulate an optimization problem that maximizes the minimum average secrecy rate (ASR) subject to some specific constraints. We then transform the formulated optimization problem into a convex problem with the aid of first-order restrictive approximation technique and penalty method. The resultant problem is a generalized nonlinear convex programming (GNCP) and solving it directly still leads to a high complexity, which motivates us to further approximate this problem as a second-order cone program (SOCP) in order to reduce the computational complexity. Finally, we develop an iteration procedure based on penalty successive convex approximation (P-SCA) algorithm to pursue the solution to the formulated optimization problem. Our examination shows that the developed joint design achieves a significant performance gain compared to a benchmark scheme.
