LiLib scheme improves UAV path-loss prediction with adaptive expert library

Researchers have developed LiLib, a novel continual-learning scheme designed for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to predict air-to-ground path loss more accurately. This system maintains a small library of adaptive experts that can be reused or updated when a UAV encounters changing environments, such as moving between suburban and urban areas. In simulations, LiLib significantly reduced prediction error compared to existing methods and improved throughput for rate adaptation. The scheme is lightweight, requiring minimal storage, and can even be shared between UAVs to accelerate adaptation to new environments. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more efficient and reliable UAV operations in complex, dynamic environments.

    LiLib: Lifelong Air-to-Ground Path-Loss Prediction on UAVs via a Drift-Triggered Model Library

    arXiv:2610.07111v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: UAVs that act as relays or base stations need accurate air-to-ground path-loss predictions for rate adaptation and placement, but propagation conditions change as a UAV moves between suburban, urban and high-rise areas, and the sa…
