论文摘要
将移动网络视为无人驾驶汽车（UAV）的通信基础设施，从而创造了新的新兴服务和机会。特别是，无人机可以利用不同移动网络运营商（MNOS）的可用性来指导与MNO的连接确保最佳体验（QOE）。尽管交通转向的概念在网络方面更为知名，但将其扩展到设备级别将允许满足当今应用程序的新兴要求。在这种情况下，高度需要考虑到这种新型交流的性质和特征的有效转向解决方案。作者在本文中介绍了一种指导启用移动网络无人机连接的机制。拟议的解决方案考虑了一个现实的通信模型，该模型解释了无线信号所经历的大多数传播现象。此外，考虑到相关优化问题的复杂性，这是这个现实模型所固有的，作者提出了基于联盟游戏的解决方案。目的是在MNO周围的联盟中形成无人机，以增强其QoE。进行的性能评估表明，使用多个MNO来增强启用移动网络的无人机的QoE并证明所提出的解决方案的有效性。指数
The consideration of mobile networks as a communication infrastructure for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) creates a new plethora of emerging services and opportunities. In particular, the availability of different mobile network operators (MNOs) can be exploited by the UAVs to steer connection to the MNO ensuring the best quality of experience (QoE). While the concept of traffic steering is more known at the network side, extending it to the device level would allow meeting the emerging requirements of today's applications. In this vein, an efficient steering solutions that take into account the nature and the characteristics of this new type of communication is highly needed. The authors introduce, in this paper, a mechanism for steering the connection in mobile network-enabled UAVs. The proposed solution considers a realistic communication model that accounts for most of the propagation phenomena experienced by wireless signals. Moreover, given the complexity of the related optimization problem, which is inherent from this realistic model, the authors propose a solution based on coalitional game. The goal is to form UAVs in coalitions around the MNOs, in a way to enhance their QoE. The conducted performance evaluations show the potential of using several MNOs to enhance the QoE for mobile network-enabled UAVs and prove the effectiveness of the proposed solution. Index
