无人机辅助空中计算

UAV-Assisted Over-the-Air Computation

Min Fu, Yong Zhou, Yuanming Shi, Ting Wang, Wei Chen

摘要:

空中计算(AirComp)为支持分布式数据的超快速聚合提供了一种很有前途的方法。然而,由于信道衰落和噪声的影响,其在长距离传输中的性能不能得到保证。为了充分发挥AirComp的潜力,本文提出使用低成本的无人机(UAV)作为移动基站来协助AirComp系统。具体而言,由于其可控的高机动性和高海拔,UAV可以移动到足够接近传感器的位置,以实现视线传输并自适应地调整所有链路的距离,从而增强信号幅度对准和噪声抑制。我们的目标是通过联合优化无人机轨迹,无人机的比例因子和传感器的发射功率,在无人机的预定位置和飞行速度,传感器的平均和峰值功率限制的约束下,最小化AirComp的时间平均均方误差。然而,由于高度耦合的优化变量和时间依赖的约束,所产生的问题是非凸的和具有挑战性的。因此,我们提出了一个有效的迭代算法,通过应用块坐标下降和连续凸优化技术。仿真结果验证了所提出算法的收敛性,并证明了所提出的设计与基准相比的性能增益和鲁棒性。

英文摘要:

Over-the-air computation (AirComp) provides a promising way to support ultrafast aggregation of distributed data. However, its performance cannot be guaranteed in long-distance transmission due to the distortion induced by the channel fading and noise. To unleash the full potential of AirComp, this paper proposes to use a low-cost unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) acting as a mobile base station to assist AirComp systems. Specifically, due to its controllable high-mobility and high-altitude, the UAV can move sufficiently close to the sensors to enable line-of-sight transmission and adaptively adjust all the links' distances, thereby enhancing the signal magnitude alignment and noise suppression. Our goal is to minimize the time-averaging mean-square error for AirComp by jointly optimizing the UAV trajectory, the scaling factor at the UAV, and the transmit power at the sensors, under constraints on the UAV's predetermined locations and flying speed, sensors' average and peak power limits. However, due to the highly coupled optimization variables and time-dependent constraints, the resulting problem is non-convex and challenging. We thus propose an efficient iterative algorithm by applying the block coordinate descent and successive convex optimization techniques. Simulation results verify the convergence of the proposed algorithm and demonstrate the performance gains and robustness of the proposed design compared with benchmarks.
