Array antenna equipped UAV‐BS for efficient low power WSN and its theoretical analysis

Abstract

In a wireless sensor network consisting of a large number of sensor nodes (SNs), an efficient communication scheme is crucial to boost data collection efficiency. Furthermore, SN is required to communicate by the low transmission power to prolong its battery life. However, SNs located at the edge of the communication area may fall into the outage as the signal-to-noise power ratio fails to surpass a certain threshold. Moreover, signal collision due to the interferers may deteriorate the packet delivery rate. An unmanned aerial vehicle-base station (UAV-BS) is an attractive solution to lower outage probability and enhance communication efficiency. Here, outage probability and capturing failure probability performance of a rotational angle division multiple access (RADMA), which is realized by UAV-BS with an array antenna, are analytically evaluated. The numerical performance evaluation is conducted to elucidate the performance improvement of RADMA under low power wide-area network setup. Numerical simulation results show that RADMA can suppress the packet loss ratio 77%, shorten the transmission time 25%, and reduce the required transmission energy 20%. Recently, low power wide-area network (LPWAN) technologies are gaining a lot of interest due to its low power and large transmission coverage to support the Internet-of-things (IoT) with limited power supply.

Efficient UAVs Deployment and Resource Allocation in UAV-Relay Assisted Public Safety Networks for Video Transmission

“…in [22], the authors delved into the joint optimization of resource allocation and relay selection within a decode-and-forward downlink OFDMA cooperative network, considering the scenario of outdated CSI at the base station. The work in [23] has analytically assessed the rotational angle division multiple access (RADMA) performance implemented using UAV-BS with array antennas. To demonstrate how RADMA performs better in a low-power wide-area network configuration, a numerical performance evaluation is carried out.…”
