"On Data Collection in SIC-Capable Space–Air–Ground Integ" by Yawen Zheng and Kwan Wu Chin
This article considers routing and uplinks scheduling in space–air–ground integrated networks. Specifically, it considers a successive interference cancellation-capable unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that collects data from ground devices operating in an Internet of Things network. Its objective is to maximize the minimum flow rate to a terrestrial gateway over a fixed time horizon. It outlines a mixed integer linear program (MILP) to optimize in each time slot: the routing from the UAV to the gateway, the set of links from ground devices to the UAV, and the flow rate over links. It also pr...
