摘要:

无人机(UAV)作为空中基站,由于其高度的灵活性和自主性,是提供无线通信的有前途的解决方案。此外,诸如延展实境等新兴服务需要高容量通信。为了实现这一点,毫米波(mmWave)和最近的太赫兹波段已经被考虑用于UAV通信。然而,在这些高频率下的通信需要到终端的视线(LoS),这些终端可能位于3D空间中,并且可能由于阻挡对象(如建筑物和树木)而具有极其有限的直视线(LoV)。在本文中,我们研究的问题,确定无人机的三维布局和方向,使用户有保证的LoS覆盖至少有一个无人机和无人机-用户对之间的信噪比(SNR)最大化。我们制定的问题作为一个整数线性规划(ILP)的问题,并证明其NP-困难。接下来,我们提出了一个低复杂度的基于几何的贪心算法来有效地解决这个问题。我们的仿真结果表明,该算法(几乎)总是保证LoS覆盖所有用户在所有考虑的模拟设置。

英文摘要:

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), as aerial base stations, are a promising solution for providing wireless communications, thanks to their high flexibility and autonomy. Moreover, emerging services, such as extended reality, require high-capacity communications. To achieve this, millimeter wave (mmWave), and recently, terahertz bands have been considered for UAV communications. However, communication at these high frequencies requires a line-of-sight (LoS) to the terminals, which may be located in 3D space and may have extremely limited direct-line-of-view (LoV) due to blocking objects, like buildings and trees. In this paper, we investigate the problem of determining 3D placement and orientation of UAVs such that users have guaranteed LoS coverage by at least one UAV and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) between the UAV-user pairs are maximized. We formulate the problem as an integer linear programming(ILP) problem and prove its NP-hardness. Next, we propose a low-complexity geometry-based greedy algorithm to solve the problem efficiently. Our simulation results show that the proposed algorithm (almost) always guarantees LoS coverage to all users in all considered simulation settings.
