Abstract

The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technologies are envisioned to play an important role in the era of Air-Space-Ground integrated networks. In this paper, we investigate the connectivity of a Flying Ad hoc Network (FANET) in the presence of a ground-based terminal. In particular, the connected probability of the UAV-to-UAV (U2U) link as well as that of the UAV-to-Ground (U2G) link in a three dimensional (3D) space are analyzed. Furthermore, to mitigate the aggregate interference from UAV individuals, a priority based power control scheme is implemented for enhancing the connectivity of both U2U and U2G links. Numerical results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed analysis.
