CNS Core: Small: Robust and Decentralized Mobility and Connectivity Management in UAV-Enabled Aerial Wireless Networks

 

M. Cenk Gursoy (Principal Investigator) and Senem Velipasalar (Co-Principal Investigator)

 

Our primary objective in this project is to design and analyze robust, intelligent, and decentralized decision-making policies in UAV-enabled wireless networks. In particular, we have the following three major thrust areas:
  1. Decentralized Mobility and Connectivity Management in UAV-Enabled Wireless Networks
  2. Decentralized Resource Allocation in UAV-Enabled Wireless Networks
  3. Robustness and Attack Resilience in UAV-Enabled Wireless Networks
