Optimal Coverage Control for Net-Drone Handvoer

Abstract

The need for aerial network ensuring the stability of network at the specific area in which it is difficult to use network such as disaster area and rush hour is growing increasingly. However, the traditional aerial networks by UAV have problems such as limited battery for UAV, frequent handover by aerial environment and so on. These problems induce not only the fail of seamless handover but also a long handover time by frequent handover attempts. This paper presents an effective solution for resolving problems which are mentioned above. The main idea is to control the drone’s height and the distance between a drone and another drone. We also propose the seamless handover success probability and the false handover initiation probability to evaluate the optimal coverage decision algorithm. The simulation results using MATLAB show that the proposed algorithm operate to make the efficient handover compare with compare with conventional approach. The simulation also is conducted to compare the performance of the Optimal Coverage Decision algorithm by several elements. As a result, the proposed Optimal Coverage Decision algorithm guarantee the seamless handover and establish the one huge network by integrating the small networks. ⓒ 2015 DGIST
