Full title—Satellite- and Cache-Assisted UAV: A Joint Cache Placement, Resource Allocation, and Trajectory Optimization for 6G Aerial Networks
This paper considers Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite- and cache-assisted unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communications for content delivery in terrestrial networks, which shows great potential for next-generation systems to provide ubiquitous connectivity and high capacity. Specifically, caching is provided by the UAV to reduce backhaul congestion, and the LEO satellite supports the UAV’s backhaul link.
In this context, we aim to maximize the minimum achievable throughput per ground user (GU) by jointly optimizing cache placement, the UAV’s resource allocation, and trajectory while cache capacity and flight time are limited.
