dc.description.abstractIn wireless communication, small cells are low-powered cellular base stations that can be used to enhance the coverage and capacity of wireless networks in areas where traditional cell towers may not be practical or cost-effective. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can be used to quickly deploy and position small cells in areas that are difficult to access or where traditional infrastructure is not feasible. UAVs are deployed by telecommunication service providers to provide aerial network access in remote rural areas, disaster-affected areas, or massive-attendance events. In this paper, we focus on the scheduling of beaconing periods as an efficient means of energy consumption optimization. The conducted study provides a sub-modular game perspective of the problem and investigates its structural properties. We also provide a learning algorithm that ensures convergence of the considered UAV network to a Nash equilibrium operating point. Finally, we conduct extensive numerical investigations to assist our claims about the energy and data rate efficiency of the strategic beaconing policy (at Nash equilibrium).en_US
