"Multi-UAVs Network Design Algorithms for Computed Rate Maximization" by Kefeng Wu, Kwan Wu Chin et al.
This paper considers a network design problem using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). It aims to create a network to provide communication and computation service to a set of source-destination ground node pairs. The main performance metric is the minimum amount of computed data among a set of source-destination pairs. To optimize this metric, we outline two mixed Integer Linear Programs (MILPs), namely S-MILP and NS-MILP, which are designed respectively for splittable and non-splittable traffic flow models. They jointly optimize the placement of UAVs, assignment of Virtualized Network Function...
