Abstract
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communication has drawn significant interests from the industry and academic due to its low consumption, high maneuverability, and flexible mobility. This paper studies a multi-UAV wireless communication system where UAVs are operated by a ground control center to perform certain task with a planned trajectory. In order to ensure the reliable communication of multiple UAVs, we formulate a mixed-integer problem aimming to maximize the minimum signal-to-noise ratio (SINR) of UAV swarm by jointly optimizing multiuser spectrum access and transmission power. To tackle this problem efficiently, we propose an iterative algorithm based on majorization-minimization method. Extensive simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can yield substantial gains in terms of communication performance as compared with a baseline scheme.
