Abstract
Wireless communication with unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has attracted much attention due to its flexibility and low-cost in providing wireless connectivity. In this article, we investigate the spectrum sharing between UAV and terrestrial wireless communication. Two scenarios are considered in this work. Scenario 1: the UAV is energy sufficient to transmit the required data. In this case, our objective is to minimize the time that is needed to complete data transmission. Scenario 2: the battery of the UAV is energy insufficient. In this case, the goal becomes maximizing the size of data that can be transmitted. Different scenarios require different placement of the UAV. When the UAV flies towards the primary user (PU), the sensing result will be more accurate and more opportunities can be utilized to transmit data. However, the interference to primary receiver (PR) and the propulsion energy due to UAV's movement will be increased. In this article, the sensing performance, the power allocation and the UAV's position are jointly optimized to satisfy different requirements of the UAV system. To efficiently utilize the licensed spectrum, a hybrid transmission mode is proposed for the UAV system, in which sensing and power control are jointly employed to protect the PR. Then, efficient iterative algorithms are proposed to solve the optimization problems. Simulations results show that proposed designs can significantly reduce the time that is required to complete data transmission in energy sufficient scenario and enhance the size of data that can be transferred in energy insufficient scenario.
