Task Offloading for Post-Disaster Rescue in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Networks

Yuntao Wang et al.

Summary: In post-disaster rescue missions, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are effective tools, but their limited battery and computational capacities hinder heavy computation tasks. This paper proposes a fog computing based UAV system that utilizes unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) to offload computation tasks from UAVs. Through a stable matching algorithm and an iterative algorithm, the proposed scheme improves utilities of UAVs and reduces average delay.
