Abstract [en]

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been conceived as an available solution to substitute terrestrial base stations (TBSs) to provide downloading services for user equipment (i.e. mobile devices) that have difficulty communicating directly with TBSs. However, the mobility of user equipment (UE) and the random nature of the number of UE will cause several challenges including 1) the hardness of determining optimal user association and UAV resource (i.e., bandwidth and transmit power) allocation decision, 2) the burden of network function maintenance owing to the necessity of shutting down the entire system. Therefore, in this article, joint user association and resource allocation are designed for a software-defined network (SDN)-adopted leaderless softwarized UAV network, where each UAV is regarded as a flying SDN controller to enhance the control ability of the considered network. The purpose is to maximize energy efficiency (EE) with satisfying the quality of service (QoS). To this end, a joint method based on hierarchical agglomerative clustering (HAGC) and multi-agent deep deterministic policy gradient (MADDPG) is proposed. Specifically, the HAGC approach is utilized to determine the optimal MDs association with UAVs. Afterward, MADDPG approach is leveraged to obtain the best policy for resource allocation, aiming to achieve the maximum EE. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is confirmed by the evaluation results.
