A modified algorithm for computation issues in UAV-enabled wireless communications
Abstract Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in wireless communication have received significant interests recently due to its low cost and flexibility in providing wireless connectivity in areas without infrastructure coverage. In this paper, we optimize the location of UAVs to maximize their coverage...

| description | Abstract Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in wireless communication have received significant interests recently due to its low cost and flexibility in providing wireless connectivity in areas without infrastructure coverage. In this paper, we optimize the location of UAVs to maximize their coverage areas. We propose a modified artificial bee colony (MABC) incorporating bee number reallocation and a new search equation. In the proposed algorithm, a greater number of bees in the population are assigned to execute local searches near food sources to enhance solution accuracy, and the bees are guided by elite vectors to enable the algorithm to rapidly converge to a potentially globally optimal position. The deployment of UAVs is thus obtained. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm achieves great improvements over the traditional algorithm. |
