A Network Control-based QoS-enhanced MAC for UAV Cloud

doi:10.3969/j.issn.1000-1093.2018.09.013

Abstract

Abstract: Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) cloud can greatly enhance the intelligence of unmanned system by dynamically uploading the compute-intensive applications to the cloud. The different UAV missions may have different quality of service (QoS) requirements due to the uncertainty of UAV missions and the fast-changing battlefield environment. A BP neuron network-based feedback differentiated control approach for QoS-aware (BPFD)-MAC in UAV cloud is proposed, which can support both absolute and relative QoS guarantees with the consideration of energy saving. The hardware experiments demonstrate the feasibility of BPFD-MAC. Under heavy loads, BPFD has better throughput and power use efficiency; and under light load, BPFD has lower total energy consumption.Key
