UAV Virtualization for Enabling Heterogeneous and Persistent UAV-as-a-Service

IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, 2020
In this paper, we propose an architecture for UAV virtualization with the primary aim of providing virtualized UAV services to multiple users by envisioning the concept of UAV-as-a-Service. In contrast to traditional UAVs, which are resource-constraint in nature and exhibit shorter flight times, our proposed UAV virtualization overcomes the limitations

UAV Mobility Model for Dynamic UAV-to-Car Communications

Proceedings of the 16th ACM International Symposium on Performance Evaluation of Wireless Ad Hoc, Sensor, & Ubiquitous Networks, 2019
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) can be used to support car-to-car communications when the infrastructures are not available or are unreliable. However, since cars in vehicular communications are mobile, the UAV that acts as a relay should move dynamically as a response to moving ground vehicles.

UAV Selection for a UAV-Based Integrative IoT Platform

2016 IEEE Global Communications Conference (GLOBECOM), 2016
This paper presents a UAV-based integrative IoT platform that leverages UAVs to deliver different IoT services from height. One of the major tasks of the platform is to select the appropriate UAVs for a particular IoT task. This selection may be based on different criteria, such as UAV's equipment, energy budget and geographical proximity of the UAV to
