Abstract
In this work, we enhance the total network throughput performance of a FANET system consisting of multiple UAVs and a ground control station (GCS) by optimizing the multihop routing structure and total power budget required for communication in the presence of inter-UAV interference. To achieve this, an optimization problem is formulated to maximize the network throughput within a given power budget. However, due to the non-convex and integer nature of the problem, it is NP-hard. Hence, it is dealt with differently by solving two daughter problems iteratively, i.e., (1) power allocation (PA) and (2) optimal link selection (LS) for the given solution of PA. These subproblems are solved iteratively by utilizing alternating optimization to obtain the global optimal solution of the main problem. The study presents various numerical results, which validate the effectiveness of the proposed routing structure and provide insights into the impact of interference on system parameters.
