This paper investigates the use of cell-free unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)-assisted wireless networks and optimizes the number of deployed UAVs under quality of service and coverage constraints. The proposed low-complexity efficient greedy-based algorithmic solutions can tackle the user-UAVs association, UAVs placement, channel assignment, and transmit power allocation. Simulation results illustrate the efficiency of the proposed algorithms in terms of the number of deployed UAVs in cell-free wireless networks.
This paper investigates the use of cell-free un-manned aerial vehicles (UAVs)-assisted wireless networks and optimizes the number of deployed UAVs under quality of service and coverage constraints. The formulated problem tackles the user-UAVs association, UAVs placement, channel assignment and transmit power allocation while considering both access and backhaul networks. Since the problem is a non-convex and non-linear mixed-integer programming, low-complexity efficient greedy-based algorithmic solutions are proposed. The first one finds the UAVs' best positions and allocates resource whereas the second one guarantees the problem feasibility (i.e., all users can be satisfied) by removing the worst users. For comparison purposes, a meta-heuristic solution based on the Particle Swarm Optimization technique is proposed. Simulation results illustrate the efficiency of the proposed algorithms in terms of the number of deployed UAVs in cell-free wireless networks.
