Researchers have developed a new algorithm, the Hybrid K-means Quantum-Inspired Evolutionary Algorithm (HKQEA), to optimize the deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for post-disaster wireless communication restoration. This algorithm aims to minimize the number of deployed UAVs while ensuring coverage and separation constraints are met. HKQEA demonstrated superior performance compared to existing algorithms like NSGA-II and PSO, achieving a best solution with 8 UAVs that satisfied coverage, non-overlap, and minimum-distance requirements. The study also highlighted potential cost savings, with a reduction from 10 to 8 UAVs potentially yielding a 20% decrease in hardware count. AI
