A UAV migration-based decision-making scheme for on-demand service in 6G network

Abstract

In the context of the 6th generation (6G) network, UAV-aided networking is emerging as a promising solution to burst traffic offloading and on-demand service coverage. Given the dynamic networking environment, a UAV migration scheme needs to be as flexible, efficient, and adaptive as possible. To address this issue, a UAV migration-based decision-making scheme is put forward to make a tradeoff between migration costs and the satisfaction of service requirements. In the scheme, a UAV adaptive migration strategy (UAMS) is adopted to improve the migration efficiency. Meanwhile, the corresponding signaling interaction process is designed according to different UAV migration scenarios. The experimental results show that the proposed approach makes a significant improvement in the performance of the whole system and takes obvious advantage over traditional solutions.
