Abstract

Unmanned aerial vehicle networks suffer from lackluster performance due to line-of-sight issues as well as resource scarcity. Network slicing, multi-band transmission, and numerology show great potential in mitigating such limitations. In this work, we propose the use of the sub-6 GHz and mmWave bands, the latter of which requires careful consideration of line-of-sight, with numerology for aerial network slicing to provision time-critical services and broadband access. Accordingly, we formulate a user admission control policy to regulate band access after which we formulate a joint resource block and power allocation problem, a mixed-integer non-linear programming problem, to minimize the quality-of-service gap of the throughput-dependent broadband users as a best-effort service and meet the time-critical service requirements. We propose a low-complexity algorithm, PREDICT, to tackle the formulated problem and present extensive simulation results to validate the advantages of our scheme.
