An Efficient Resource Sharing Model for Multi-UAV-Assisted Wireless Networks

The network capacity is fastened by utilizing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and mobile users can get feasible services independent of the infrastructure coverage. Furthermore, with the help of network virtualization technology, mobile network operators (MNOs) can lease their cellular network infrastructures and wireless network resources to the service providers (SPs) who are providing specific services to their mobile users. Wireless resource leasing among SPs, on the other hand, is problematic because each aims to maximize its own profit whilst assuring the QoS requirement of their users. Thus, in this paper, we propose a wireless resource sharing problem in the UAVs-assisted virtualized wireless networks with the goal of maximizing the total profit of SPs whilst guaranteeing the QoS requirement of each mobile user and satisfying the resource constraint of the UAVs. Then, we deploy the Lagrangian relaxation-based solution approach in order to address our proposed problem. Finally, we provide detailed numerical results to show the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm.
