Abstract

In non-terrestrial networks (NTN), optimal planning of the optimization problem of 3-dimensional (3D) trajectory is a key research topic. In this article, the optimization problem of the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) aided wireless sensor networks is addressed. To maximize the energy efficiency (EE) performance, we formulate the 3D trajectory optimization problem as a non-convex optimization and divide it into two sub-problems, the UAV's horizontal trajectory optimization problem with given altitude and the UAV's altitude optimization problem with given horizontal location. By combining with the discrete linear state-space approximation method, the energy-efficient algorithm with given transmit power of each sensor is proposed. Numerical results show that the proposed methods achieve significant improvements compared to the existing; EE schemes.
