Artificial Intelligence Aided Next-Generation Networks Relying on UAVs
This addresses dynamic networking challenges for UAV-aided wireless systems, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing AI and UAV concepts without introducing a fundamentally new approach.
The paper tackles the problem of dynamic wireless networking by proposing an AI-assisted UAV swarm system that adapts to user positions and traffic demands, resulting in enhanced network performance, reliability, and agility.
Artificial intelligence (AI) assisted unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) aided next-generation networking is proposed for dynamic environments. In the AI-enabled UAV-aided wireless networks (UAWN), multiple UAVs are employed as aerial base stations, which are capable of rapidly adapting to the dynamic environment by collecting information about the users' position and tele-traffic demands, learning from the environment and acting upon the feedback received from the users. Moreover, AI enables the interaction amongst a swarm of UAVs for cooperative optimization of the system. As a benefit of the AI framework, several challenges of conventional UAWN may be circumvented, leading to enhanced network performance, improved reliability and agile adaptivity. As a further benefit, dynamic trajectory design and resource allocation are demonstrated. Finally, potential research challenges and opportunities are discussed.
