“…During the flight of the UAV swarm, the communication is formed into an ad hoc (point-to-point) network [27], and the location of UAVs is constantly changing. Depending on whether there is a communication node, the communication mode between UAVs can be divided into direct communication and indirect communication [28].…”

UAVs are widely employed in military and civilian fields because of their inherent advantages. The cooperative task allocation of multi-UAV is more in conformity with the requirements of UAV application scenarios, which has become a hot research topic. However, resource consumption allocation and the application scenarios of communication constraints are often ignored. This paper proposes a distributed multi-UAV task allocation method based on improved CNP to solve the local cooperative task allocation problem of heterogeneous multi-UAV in the communication-constrained environment. The improved CNP-based method can be divided into four stages: task release, bid application, coalition formation, and signing contracts. In the task release stage, we proposed the adaptive maximum number setting method of information transfer times and the information consistency method to solve conflicts in the local communication network. In the process of coalition formation, the resource consumption allocation algorithm based on the Gini coefficient is proposed to keep the resource difference between UAVs in the coalition within a reasonable range. The simulation results demonstrate that improved CNP-method-based cooperative task allocation can handle the local real-time task allocation problem of heterogeneous multi-UAV under communication constraints; it obtains greater task rewards and spends less time on task completion than the resource-welfare-based method, PTCFA. Simultaneously, the resource consumption algorithm makes the UAV swarm maintain a more reasonable resource difference to maximize the number of missions completed.

“…Over the recent years, the research community focused efforts on equipping flying platforms with radio communications capabilities by advancing the UAV setups in both centralized [12] and distributed systems [13]. There is already a large body of literature on mmWave-based UAV cellular networking, which includes channel [14] and antenna [15] modeling, coverage analysis [16], 3D beam management [17], positioning [18], trajectory design [19], interference assessment [20], performance optimization [21], experimental studies [22], and UAV prototype development [23].…”

The adoption of abundant millimeter-wave (mmWave) spectrum offers higher capacity for short-range connectivity in various Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)-centric communications scenarios. In contrast to the conventional cellular paradigm, where the coordination of connected nodes is highly centralized, the distributed deployments, such as those operating over unlicensed frequency bands, maintain robust interactions in the absence of central control. These agile decentralized systems are being naturally created by dynamic UAV swarms that form a temporary 3D structure without reliance on remote management or pre-established network infrastructures. While much effort has been invested in the performance assessment of distributed, directional, and 3D systems individually, a combination of these three angles allows capturing more realistic UAV swarm scenarios and produces a novel research perspective. This work addresses one of the fundamental challenges in mmWave-based 3D networks -directional deafness -which is known to adversely affect the overall system performance. Particularly, we develop a mathematical framework by taking into account the peculiarities of 3D directional and distributed deployments. We provide a holistic analytical assessment of directional deafness and propose several powerful approximations that capture realistic antenna patterns.

“…Despite the rapid growth of drone development and marketing, there are very limited reviews showing a road map of step-by-step growth in drone’s capabilities distinguishing their types, categories, design and functionality, application, specific developments and major domains of researches [ 5 ]. Such reviews are important inputs to select or equip the flying robots for a specific use, to realize the impact of drones in the upcoming society and to grasp important information of its successive growth and current researches and advancements [ 6 ]. Thus, for summarizing all such researches, a survey is carried-out over top journals and conference research articles published in the last decade.…”

In recent decades, aerial robots especially small UAVs and drones have witnessed tremendous improvements in terms of their structure, working methodology, flying features and navigation control. UAVs are highly utilized in a wide range of services such as photography, path planning, search and rescue, inspection of power lines and civil constructions, etc. This manuscript reports a wide overview and comprehensive survey of recent developments in commercially available UAV’s and gives a brief note on the progress and research covered in last 10 years. The research presents a roadmap to understand the successive development of advanced drones/ UAVs in terms of their geometric structure, flying mechanism, sensing and vision ability, aviation quality, path planning, intelligent behaviour and adoptability. A literature survey is conducted systematically on 254 retrieved articles published in the last 10 years and scaled down to 96 relevant articles. In these shortlisted articles, path planning, neural network, artificial intelligence, inspection, surveillance, tracking and identification, etc. are the most relevant methodologies or applications presented. The current research is concerned about the growth and impact of UAVs/drones in the society and also inspires the newbies to carry research in this field and propose new methods to select or equip the flying robot for a specific application in various fields. This article also assists researchers in understanding and evaluating their research work in the context of existing solutions. It also helps newcomers and pilots/practitioners to quickly gain an overview of the existing vast literature in the related fields.
