Abstract
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) coupled with wireless networks have offered the potential for forthcoming mobile communications networks. The UAV-assisted wireless communication technology approach is an option for maintaining communication services, one of which is for disaster areas. This study aims to investigate the deployment of UAV-assisted communications in disaster areas. The simulation in this work is focused on investigating the relationship between the UAV’s height or radius and the outage probability and achievable rate. We identifies a UAV that behaves as a relay in a disaster area connected to two users, identified several critical parameters, such as UAV height, radius, and SNR value, and investigated the impact of changing each of them on outage probability and achievable rate values. Finally, we simulates the effect of these critical parameters on outage probability and achievable rate to maximize the use of UAV-assisted communication as a disaster management solution. According to the simulation results, as the signal to noise (SNR) increases, the probability of network communication interference decreases, and the achievable level increases. Moreover, increasing the range of UAVs can improve communication performance by reducing the probability of outages and increasing the achievable rate.
