Equipped with diverse communication payloads, UAVs cooperating with satellites and base stations (BSs) constitute a space-air-ground three-tier heterogeneous network, which are beneficial in terms of both providing the seamless coverage as well as of improving the capacity for increasingly prosperous Internet of Things (IoT) networks. However, cross-tier interference may be inevitable among these tightly embraced heterogeneous networks when sharing the same spectrum. The power association problem in satellite, UAV and macrocell three-tier networks becomes a critical issue. In our paper, we propose a two-stage joint hovering altitude and power control solution for the resource allocation problem in UAV networks considering the inevitable cross-tier interference from space-air-ground heterogeneous networks. Furthermore, Lagrange dual decomposition and concaveconvex procedure (CCP) method are used to solve this problem, followed by a low-complexity greedy search algorithm. Finally, simulation results show the effectiveness of our proposed twostage joint optimization algorithm in terms of UAV network’s total throughput. date: 2019-04 date_type: published official_url: https://doi.org/10.1109/JIOT.2018.2875493 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1660272 doi: 10.1109/JIOT.2018.2875493 lyricists_name: Wei, Zhongxiang lyricists_id: ZWEIX99 actors_name: Wei, Zhongxiang actors_id: ZWEIX99 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: IEEE Internet of Things Journal volume: 6 number: 2 pagerange: 1741-1753 issn: 2327-4662 citation: Wang, J; Jiang, C; Wei, Z; Pan, C; Zhang, H; Ren, Y; (2019) Joint UAV hovering altitude and power control for space-air-ground iot networks.
