Obstacle-Aware UAV Sensor Network Deployment Using Iterative Margin-Maximization Approach

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted wireless sensor networks improve connectivity in hard-to-reach areas, but their deployment becomes difficult in bounded regions with obstacles. In this paper, we propose a margin-maximizing UAV deployment for obstacle-aware wireless service.
It places coverage disks having different effective radii under boundary and obstacle-avoidance constraints. Our objective is margin maximization, that is, enlarging the minimum clearance among UAVs, obstacles, and region boundaries, to obtain layouts that are robust to interference and geometric perturbations. The proposed method, MARKL, jointly optimizes UAV locations and a shared geometric margin among UAVs, ROI boundaries, and obstacles. MARKL iteratively convexifies the geometric constraints that prevent overlap between coverage areas of UAVs and enlarges minimum distances from obstacles, other UAVs, and boundaries. Each resulting subproblem is then solved by a primal-dual hybrid gradient method with rotated second-order cone constraints. Numerical results show that MARKL consistently achieves the largest or second-largest active UAV among the compared methods, with particularly strong gains in obstacle-rich environments.
