Abstract:
In this letter, the UAV-enabled relay communication is investigated, where the UAV relay forwards the information received from the ground source node to the ground destination node under malicious jamming. We aim to maximize the end-to-end throughput by optimizing the trajectory of UAV and transmit power of both UAV and source node jointly. However, the formulated problem is intractable due to the non-convex objective function and constraints. Thus, with the aid of slack variables, we propose an efficient algorithm to solve it based on the block coordinate descent (BCD) and successive convex approximation (SCA) techniques. Numerical results are provided to show that the joint design of trajectory and power control improves the throughput significantly.
