Patent ID: 11703853

Abstract:
According to a technical aspect of the invention, there is provided a multiple unmanned aerial vehicles navigation optimization method is performed at a ground base station which operates in conjunction with unmanned aerial vehicles-base stations which are driven by a battery to move and cover a given trajectory point set, the multiple unmanned aerial vehicles navigation optimization method including: calculating an age-of-information metric by receiving an information update from the unmanned aerial vehicles-base stations through communication, when the ground base station is present within a transmission range of the unmanned aerial vehicles-base stations; setting conditions of a trajectory, energy efficiency, and age of information of each of the unmanned aerial vehicles-base stations; and executing Q-learning for finding a trajectory path policy of each of the unmanned aerial vehicles-base stations, so as to maximize total energy efficiency of an unmanned aerial vehicles-base station relay network to which the energy efficiency and the age of information are applied.According to the invention, the following effects are obtained. Age of information (AoI) that is a new matrix used to measure up-do-dateness of data is set, an edge computing environment for a remote cloud environment is provided by using the AoI, and a computing-oriented communications application can be executed by using the edge computing environment.
