Entropy, Vol. 23, Pages 1596: Energy-Efficient Trajectory Optimization for UAV-Based Hybrid FSO/RF Communications with Buffer Constraints (Entropy)
 


This paper focuses on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) assisted hybrid free-space optical (FSO)/radio frequency (RF) communication system. Considering the rate imbalance between the FSO and RF links, a buffer is employed at the UAV. Initially, theoretical models of energy consumption and throughput are obtained for the hybrid system. Based on these models, the theoretical expression of the energy efficiency is derived. Then, a nonconvex trajectory optimization problem is formulated by maximizing the energy efficiency of the hybrid system under the buffer constraint, velocity constraint, acceleration constraint, start–end position constraint, and start–end velocity constraint. By using the sequential convex optimization and first-order Taylor approximation, the nonconvex problem is transformed into a convex one. An iterative algorithm is proposed to solve the problem. Numerical results verify the efficiency of the proposed algorithm and also show the effects of buffer size on a UAV’s trajectory.
