Abstract

Using the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) to form a communication platform is of great practical significance in future wireless networks. This article investigates the flight trajectory optimization problem with minimum energy consumption when the UAVs are mobile servers and communicate with the ground terminals (GT). The proposed trajectory considers the features of conventional paths as well, i.e., the channel quality and energy saving. Numerical results show that our approach outperforms the other schemes in terms of the throughput of data and the features of the UAV.
