Abstract
A cellular unmanned-aerial-vehicle (UAV)-enabled system is studied in this research, where multiple UAVs work cooperatively to upload the collected sensory data to the base station (BS). The UAVs form a two-tier network with two kinds of communication modes, i.e., UAV-to-Network (U2N) and UAV-to-UAV (UAV) communications. We investigate the communication resource allocation for UAVs to maximize the aggregate energy efficiency of the system. The formulated problem is mixed-integer and NP-hard. To make the formulated problem tractable, an efficient matching-based algorithm is proposed to complete the transmission mode selection and subchannel allocation, respectively. Then the transmission power is optimized based on game theory. The simulation results reveal that the uplink energy efficiency can be improved with the proposed scheme, compared with the maximum power strategy.
