Efficient Aerial Data Collection With Cooperative Trajectory Planning for Large-Scale Wireless Sensor Networks

Yuchao Zhu et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a cooperative trajectory planning scheme to address the energy issue of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) by using a truck as a mobile recharging station. The scheme aims to minimize the total mission time for gathering data from sensor nodes by dividing the mission area into subregions and finding optimal trajectories for the UAV and the truck. An efficient clustering algorithm is introduced for load-balanced partitioning, and a three-step heuristic algorithm is used to solve the trajectory planning problem. Numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness and cost-efficiency of the proposed scheme for data collection in large-scale wireless sensor networks.

Sum-rate maximization for UAV-enabled two-way relay systems

Keju Lu et al.

Summary: This paper investigates a two-way relay system with Physical-layer Network Coding (PNC) protocol enabled by an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). A rotary-wing UAV serves as a mobile relay to facilitate information interaction between two ground terminals. The problem is formulated as a mixed integer non-convex optimization problem and is decomposed into three sub-problems using the Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Successive Convex Approximation (SCA). A high-efficiency iterative algorithm is proposed to optimize the time slot pairing, transmit power allocation, and UAV trajectory design. Numerical results show significant performance gains over benchmark designs.

Multi-UAV Deployment for Throughput Maximization in the Presence of Co-Channel Interference

Iman Valiulahi et al.

Summary: This article proposes a 3-D multi-UAV deployment approach to meet Quality-of-Service requirements for different types of user distributions and maximize the minimum achievable system throughput for ground users. The approach consists of two separate algorithms to find optimal xy coordinates for UAVs based on user density, schedule users, optimize UAV altitudes and transmit powers, and ensure algorithm convergence. Numerical experiments demonstrate the superiority of this technique over conventional benchmarks.

Data Collection Utility Maximization in Wireless Sensor Networks via Efficient Determination of UAV Hovering Locations

Mengyu Chen et al.

Summary: Data collection in WSNs using UAVs is a promising technology, but the identification of UAV hovering locations significantly impacts the efficiency of data collection. This paper formulates a novel data collection utility maximization problem (UMP) and proposes efficient algorithms for positioning potential UAV hovering locations to improve data collection utility. An approximation algorithm with an approximation ratio of (1 - 1/e) is also introduced for UMP. Simulation experiments show that the proposed algorithms outperform existing heuristics.
