Throughput Maximization for Full-Duplex UAV Aided Small Cell Wireless Systems (1912.04532v1)

Abstract: This paper investigates full-duplex unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) aided small cell wireless systems, where the UAV serving as the base station (BS) is designed to transmit data to the downlink users and receive data from the uplink users simultaneously. To maximize the total system capacity, including uplink and downlink capacity, the UAV trajectory, downlink/uplink user scheduling, and uplink user transmit power are alternately optimized. The resulting optimization problem is mixed-integer and non-convex, which is challenging to solve. To address it, the block coordinate descent method and successive convex approximation techniques are leveraged. Simulation results demonstrate the significant capacity gain can be achieved by our design compared with the other designs.
