Location Priority-aware Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Allocation Algorithm for Internet-of-things Applications
For Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV)-assisted Internet-of-Things(UAV-IoT)application,Location Priority-aware UAV Allocation(LPUA)algorithm is proposed.In UAV-IoT application,these UAVs have the ability to sense the location-based data and to send the sensed IoT data to base station(BS).The optimization problem that maximizing service availability is constructed.As the optimization problem of NP is hard,the heuristic approach is adopted to solve this problem.The location priorities of the requested services are calculated and sorted according to the location priorities.The UAV preferentially provides services for the requests with higher location priorities,thus improving the service efficiency and reducing the service delay.The simulation results show that LPUA reduces the average service delay about by 23.4%and 10.2%respectively,compared with that of random selection of UAV(RSU)algorithm and delay-aware selection of UAVs(DASU)alogorithm.
