Energy-efficient Predictive Deployment Strategy of UAVs Based on ConvLSTM with Attention Mechanism

摘要: 无人机(UAV)可以作为空中基站而凭借其移动性灵活地实现热点区域的覆盖。如何预测流量的分布而优化UAV部署是运营商面临的挑战。针对此问题，该文提出一种基于注意力机制卷积长短期记忆网络(A-ConvLSTM)的UAV节能预部署策略：提出一种融合注意力机制的卷积长短期记忆深度时空网络模型A-ConvLSTM，用于预测用户与流量的时空分布；基于预测结果优化UAV的覆盖和位置，在满足用户接入速率要求的前提下，以最小化UAV系统发射功率为目标建立优化模型，将目标问题解耦成两个子问题并提出一种节能部署算法迭代求解。实验结果表明A-ConvLSTM性能高于各基线模型；节能部署算法能够有效降低UAV系统发射功耗，并能以更少数量的UAV实现整体区域覆盖。Abstract: Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) can be used as the air base station to cover flexibly hotspots by its mobility. However, it is challenging for the network operators to forecast the distribution of network traffic and optimize the deployment of UAVs. To solve this problem, an energy-efficient predictive deployment strategy of UAVs based on ConvLSTM with Attention mechanism (A-ConvLSTM) is proposed: a convolutional long short term memory deep spatio-temporal network model A-ConvLSTM with attention mechanism is proposed to forecast the spatio-temporal distribution of users and cellular traffic. Then based on the forecast, the coverage and locations of UAVs are optimized. On the premise of meeting the requirements of user access rate, an optimization formulation is established with the goal of minimizing the transmission power of UAVs. The formulation is decoupled into two subproblems and an energy-efficient deployment algorithm is proposed for iterative solution. The experimental results show that the performance of A-ConvLSTM is better than that of each baseline model. Energy-efficient deployment algorithm can effectively reduce the transmission power consumption of UAVs, and achieve the overall area coverage with fewer UAVs.
