In this paper, we investigate the successful transmission probability of an aerial cellular network in which an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) as a Macrocell Base Station (UAV-BS) serves other UAVs as aerial users. The beamforming capable antennas are mounted on the UAVs, to increase the throughput of the network. The random effects of inner forces such as controlling errors or outer forces like the air conditions result in the random fluctuations. We assume Rician fading distribution over the links between the UAVs, then, we calculate the distribution of the channels under hovering fluctuations. Also, we derive the closed form expressions for successful transmission probability. Defining an optimization problem on the average successful transmission probability of the network, we obtain the best placement of UAV-BS along with the resource allocation. The problem turns out to be a non-convex problem and time consuming via numerical exhaustive search methods. Instead, we solve the optimization problem for its lower bound. Maximization problem for the achieved lower bound is equivalent to maximize the main problem. Then, we use some approximations to convert it to a low complex problem to find the solution. We use the entity of the low complex problem to obtain the allocated power for each UAV and in the following, the problem becomes convex which is solved by KKT conditions to obtain the location of UAV-BS. The theoretical results show that optimizing the lower bound probability achieves the suboptimal solution for power assignment and placement problem, which is verified by simulation results.

Internet of Things (IoT) is an intelligent technology that interconnection of everything at any time over an edge computing network. Because of pervasiveness and ubiquity, IoT technology is exhausting energy resources over edge computing platforms. As a result, IoT energy efficiency has become a prominent research domain. Conspicuously, an energy-efficient IoT framework for the edge computing paradigm has been proposed in the present research. Specifically, the proposed framework comprises three layers including perception and control layer, data processing layer, and application and visualization layer.The presented framework predicts inactive sensor intervals based on respective battery percentage, historical utility, and data accuracy needed for edge-based service delivery. Specifically, when the sensing nodes are in inactivity mode, the predicted value increases edge resource usage by re-provisioning the allotted resources. Moreover, the presented technique enables energy-efficient utilization of IoT resources. For validation purposes, the performance comparison is performed with state-of-the-art techniques. It shows that the presented framework is significantly enhanced in terms of energy consumption efficacy (30.45 mJ/K nodes), packet loss ratio (0.51%), statistical performance, and system stability (84.69%).

To alleviate the explosive growth of data traffic caused by the increased use of smart devices, new transmission techniques are needed to increase the utilization of limited bandwidth resources and for providing high transmission rates in future wireless networks. On the other hand, due to their flexibility and autonomy, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are considered as a potential candidate to support ubiquitous connectivity and operate as flying base stations, where the deployment of UAVs can affect the quality of experience (QoE) of users. Hence, in this paper, we employ UAVs as aerial base stations to transmit data to ground users (GUs) via air to ground (A2G) communication links, where we show how content awareness can help improve the data rate. Specifically, we design two contentsharing (CS) data transmission schemes to improve the average data rate of the GUs. Additionally, two UAV deployment strategies, namely the fixed-point deployment scheme and traversesearch deployment scheme, are proposed based on the proposed CS transmission schemes. The simulation results demonstrate that our proposed data transmission schemes combined with their proposed deployment schemes outperform the traditional transmission scheme by 26 bits/s/Hz and 51 bits/s/Hz, respectively.
