THROUGHPUT MAXIMIZATION IN UAV-ASSISTED WIRELESS NETWORKS

Abstract

Today we are living in an era where technology and communication means are updating at a breakneck pace. Just a few decades back we were using applications that required only a kbps data rate. But with massive breakthrough development in interactive multimedia-based applications side, high data rate requirements became crucial. The evolution of 5G technology has acted as major breakthrough toward the high data rate and connectivity demand of the users using interactive multimedia-based applications. UAV-based 5G networks have become a hot research area due to several basic advantages associated with UAVs e.g., fast deployment, LoS communication path, maneuverability, and many more. This work has considered a 5G communication scenario in which the UAV is also acting as a base station along with Macro and small cells. OAA-based algorithm is presented to achieve optimized resource allocation.
