Abstract
En 中文
In emergency communication networks, service demands and user mobility change dynamically. Low service rates and limited coverage are significant challenges that hinder the effectiveness of emergency services. Due to the flexibility, low deployment cost, and adjustable coverage range of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), UAV-assisted emergency communication networks can serve as a viable method to address these challenges. Given the strong coupling between UAV trajectory optimization and resource allocation, joint optimization is crucial to meet dynamic service demands and user mobility. In this paper, we establish a user mobility model based on the Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution and a service model based on the Poisson process. We formulate an optimization problem to maximize the data transmission rate of emergency services. To address the challenges of high-dimensional continuous action spaces, we propose a shared feature extraction-enhanced PPO (SPOR) algorithm for joint trajectory optimization and resource allocation. Simulation results show that the proposed SPOR algorithm significantly outperforms benchmark methods. Specifically, it achieves at least a 20% improvement in data transmission rate, a 28% improvement in emergency communication service ratio, and a 12% reduction in average service distance.
