Abstract
The use of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) as a dynamic node in point to point communication of 5G and beyond 5G cellular networks is an emerging technology. It provides a reliable and efficient mode of wireless communication network in the sky. Existing architectures include single tier and multi-tier drone architecture. Major challenges in multi-tier architecture is in establishing an air traffic control system and in efficient resource sharing between the drones. To overcome the challenges associated with the multitier drone and cellular drone networks, a bidirectional multitier cognitive swarm drone network (BMCSDN) is proposed and investigated in terms of spectrum efficiency and allocation of optimized altitude and power for down link transmission. The proposed method uses the cognitive swarm drone (CSD) concept and provides enhancement of capacity and coverage with optimized transmission efficiency. The work also analyses the effect of interference when all CSDs transmit and receive with static and dynamic frequency allocations. © 2020 IEEE.
