Abstract

Autonomous aerial vehicles (AAVs) have emerged as the potential aerial base stations (BSs) to improve terrestrial communications. However, the limited onboard energy and antenna power of a AAV restrict its communication range and transmission capability. To address these limitations, this work employs collaborative beamforming through a AAV-enabled virtual antenna array to improve transmission performance from the AAV to terrestrial mobile users, under interference from non-associated BSs and dynamic channel conditions. Specifically, we introduce a memory-based random walk model to more accurately depict the mobility patterns of terrestrial mobile users. Following this, we formulate a multi-objective…
