Sustainable Wireless Services with UAV Swarms Tailored to Renewable Energy Sources
Igor Donevski, Marco Virgili, Nithin Babu +4
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) swarms are often required in off-grid scenarios, such as disaster-struck, war-torn or rural areas, where the UAVs have no access to the power grid and…
Enabling On-Demand Cyber-Physical Control Applications with UAV Access Points
Igor Donevski, Jimmy Jessen Nielsen
Achieving cyber-physical control over a wireless channel requires satisfying both the timeliness of a single packet and preserving the latency reliability across several consecutiv…
Fairness Based Energy-Efficient 3D Path Planning of a Portable Access Point: A Deep Reinforcement Learning Approach
Nithin Babu, Igor Donevski, Alvaro Valcarce +3
In this work, we optimize the 3D trajectory of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based portable access point (PAP) that provides wireless services to a set of ground nodes (GNs). Mo…
Performance trade-offs in cyber-physical control applications with multi-connectivity
Igor Donevski, Israel Leyva Mayorga, Jimmy Jessen Nielsen +1
Modern communication devices are often equipped with multiple wireless communication interfaces with diverse characteristics. This enables exploiting a form of multi-connectivity k…
On Addressing Heterogeneity in Federated Learning for Autonomous Vehicles Connected to a Drone Orchestrator
Igor Donevski, Jimmy Jessen Nielsen, Petar Popovski
In this paper we envision a federated learning (FL) scenario in service of amending the performance of autonomous road vehicles, through a drone traffic monitor (DTM), that also ac…
An Experimental Analysis on Drone-Mounted Access Points for Improved Latency-Reliability
Igor Donevski, Christian Raffelsberger, Micha Sende +2
The anticipated densification of contemporary communications infrastructure expects the use of drone small cells (DSCs). Thus, we experimentally evaluate the capability of providin…
Standalone Deployment of a Dynamic Drone Cell for Wireless Connectivity of Two Services
Igor Donevski, Jimmy Jessen Nielsen, Petar Popovski
We treat a setting in which two priority wireless service classes are offered in a given area by a drone small cell (DSC). Specifically, we consider broadband (BB) user with high p…
Dynamic Standalone Drone-Mounted Small Cells
Igor Donevski, Jimmy Jessen Nielsen
This paper investigates the feasibility of Dynamic Horizontal Opportunistic Positioning (D-HOP) use in Drone Small Cells (DSCs), with a central analysis on the impact of antenna eq…
