Multi-layer Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Networks: Modeling and Performance Analysis
No full textIn this paper, we establish a foundation for the multi-layer aerial networks (MANs), which are modeled as K layer aerial networks (ANs), where each layer has unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with different densities, floating altitudes, and transmission power. To make the framework applicable for various scenarios in MAN, we consider the transmitter- and the receiver-oriented node association rules as well as the air-to-ground and air-to-air channel models, which form line of sight links with a location-dependent probability. We then newly analyze the association probability, the main link distance distribution, successful transmission probability (STP), and area spectral efficiency (ASE) of MAN. The upper bounds of the optimal densities that maximize STP and ASE are also provided. Finally, in the numerical results, we show the optimal UAV densities of each AN that maximize the ASE and the STP decrease with the altitude of the network. We also show that when the total UAV density is fixed for two layer AN, the use of single layer in higher(lower) altitude only for all UAVs can achieve better performance for low(high) total density case. Otherwise, distributing UAVs in two layers, i.e., MAN, achieves better performance.1
Safeguarding UAV Communications Against Full-Duplex Active Eavesdropper
No full textUnmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) wireless communication has recently been recognized to be inevitable and prevalent in the fifth-generation (5G) wireless networks. In this paper, we propose a secure transmission scheme for a wiretap channel, where a source communicates with a legitimate UAV in the presence of an eavesdropper. We consider the full-duplex active eavesdropper, which performs both eavesdropping and malicious jamming simultaneously. The source transmits artificial noise (AN) signals, in addition to information signals, to confuse this eavesdropper. By considering the ground-To-UAV channel model, we analyze the hybrid outage probability, which takes both the transmission outage probability and the secrecy outage probability into consideration. We further provide the asymptotic hybrid outage probability in a more compact form, where both the transmit power at the source and the jamming power at the eavesdropper become large with a fixed ratio. Through the analysis and the numerical results, we determine the optimal power allocation factor between information signals and AN signals as well as the operating height of UAV that minimize the hybrid outage probability. We also provide the most harmful antenna configuration of the eavesdropper to the UAV communications, and this paper can be a useful framework for the design of confidential UAV communication system.1

No full textWireless content caching in small cell networks (SCNs) has recently been considered as an efficient way to reduce the data traffic and the energy consumption of the backhaul in emerging heterogeneous cellular networks. In this paper, we consider a cluster-centric SCN with combined design of cooperative caching and transmission policy. Small base stations (SBSs) are grouped into disjoint clusters, in which in-cluster cache space is utilized as an entity. We propose a combined caching scheme, where part of the cache space in each cluster is reserved for caching the most popular content in every SBS, while the remaining is used for cooperatively caching different partitions of the less popular content in different SBSs, as a means to increase local content diversity. Depending on the availability and placement of the requested content, coordinated multi-point technique with either joint transmission or parallel transmission is used to deliver content to the served user. Using Poisson point process for the SBS location distribution and a hexagonal grid model for the clusters, we provide analytical results on the successful content delivery probability of both transmission schemes for a user located at the cluster center. Our analysis shows an inherent tradeoff between transmission diversity and content diversity in our cooperation design. We also study the optimal cache space assignment for two objective functions: maximization of the cache service performance and the energy efficiency. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves performance gain by leveraging cache-level and signal-level cooperation and adapting to the network environment and user quality-of-service requirements.1
