    Abstract

    In this work, we tackle the optimization of network flying platform (NFP) where multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are deployed to configure the intermediate backhaul links for sensor networks. Here, we focus on optimizing the uplink network throughput in dual-hop mixed RF/free space optical communication (FSO) networks by resource allocation and placement. Specifically, the association between UAVs and sensors, transmit power for uplink, and positions of UAVs are jointly and iteratively optimized. Tackling the corresponding mixed-integer non-convex optimization problem, we apply the block coordinate descent method and successive convex optimization methods. Even though we obtain suboptimal solutions due to the non-convexity of the problems, simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves the significant network throughput gain compared to the conventional scheme.
