论文摘要
无人驾驶汽车(UAV)可以用作飞行基站(BSS),以卸载热点中的宏观BBS。但是,由于电池电池有限,无人机通常可以在运行时间内停留不到1.5小时。之后,无人机必须飞回一个专用的充电站,该电路台可充电/替换无人机的电池。在本文中,我们研究了具有无人机的蜂窝网络的性能,同时捕获了充电站空间分布的影响。特别是,我们使用从随机几何形状的工具来得出启用无人机的蜂窝网络的覆盖范围,这是电池尺寸的函数,充电站的密度以及充电/更换电池所需的时间。
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can be used as flying base stations (BSs) to offload Macro-BSs in hotspots. However, due to the limited battery on-board, UAVs can typically stay in operation for less than 1.5 hours. Afterward, the UAV has to fly back to a dedicated charging station that recharges/replaces the UAV's battery. In this paper, we study the performance of a UAV-enabled cellular network while capturing the influence of the spatial distribution of the charging stations. In particular, we use tools from stochastic geometry to derive the coverage probability of a UAV-enabled cellular network as a function of the battery size, the density of the charging stations, and the time required for recharging/replacing the battery.
