RL-Based Cargo-UAV Trajectory Planning and Cell Association for Minimum Handoffs, Disconnectivity, and Energy Consumption
Nesrine Cherif, Wael Jaafar, Halim Yanikomeroglu +1
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is a promising technology for last-mile cargo delivery. However, the limited on-board battery capacity, cellular unreliability, and frequent handoffs…
iTUAVs: Intermittently Tethered UAVs for Future Wireless Networks
Nesrine Cherif, Wael Jaafar, Evgenii Vinogradov +3
We propose the intermittently tethered unmanned aerial vehicle (iTUAV) as a tradeoff between the power availability of a tethered UAV (TUAV) and the flexibility of an untethered UA…
Multi-Mode High Altitude Platform Stations (HAPS) for Next Generation Wireless Networks
Safwan Alfattani, Wael Jaafar, Halim Yanikomeroglu +1
The high altitude platform station (HAPS) concept has recently received notable attention from both industry and academia to support future wireless networks. A HAPS can be equippe…
Resource-Efficient HAPS-RIS Enabled Beyond-Cell Communications
Safwan Alfattani, Animesh Yadav, Halim Yanikomeroglu +1
In the future, urban regions will encounter a massive number of capacity-hungry devices. Relying solely on terrestrial networks for serving all UEs will be a cost-ineffective appro…
Beyond-Cell Communications via HAPS-RIS
Safwan Alfattani, Animesh Yadav, Halim Yanikomeroglu +1
The ever-increasing number of users and new services in urban regions can lead terrestrial base stations (BSs) to become overloaded and, consequently, some users to go unserved. Co…
Disconnectivity-Aware Energy-Efficient Cargo-UAV Trajectory Planning with Minimum Handoffs
Nesrine Cherif, Wael Jaafar, Halim Yanikomeroglu +1
On-board battery consumption, cellular disconnectivity, and frequent handoff are key challenges for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) based delivery missions, a.k.a., cargo-UAV. Indeed…
