UAV-gNB control system integrates aerial placement with per-user scheduling

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a hierarchical control system for tethered mmWave UAV-gNBs that integrates aerial placement with per-user scheduling. This system utilizes O-RAN disaggregation and a multi-timescale RIC architecture. A Non-Real-Time RIC rApp manages UAV placement and slice budgets, while a Near-Real-Time RIC xApp handles per-user resource allocation using a permutation-equivariant DeepSets Soft Actor-Critic scheduler. This approach significantly improves eMBB SLA satisfaction and URLLC on-time delivery compared to existing methods. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more efficient and reliable mobile network coverage in challenging environments.
