Description
Summary:UAV base stations (UAVBS’s) have been proposed as a revolution for the new architecture of 5G networks. The UAVBS’s can be deployed as access points to provide wireless services to users in emergency scenarios. However, it is challenging to solve the highly coupled problem for UAVBS deployment and power allocation. In the meanwhile, the hybrid analog and digital beamforming is leverage to reduce the hardware cost for beamforming in 5G networks. In this work, we first use k-means algorithm to solve the 3D placement of UAVBS’s by exploiting the optimal coverage altitude. Next, power allocation problem is resolved using the difference-of-two-convex functions (D.C.) programming algorithm. Furthermore, the quality of service (QoS) for each user is guaranteed by adjusting the transmitted power. Finally, extensive experiments are conducted to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed algorithm.
