The drone delivery problem (DDP) has been introduced to include aerial vehicles in last-mile delivery operations to increase efficiency. However, the existing studies have not incorporated the communication quality requirements of such a…

We study a single-server appointment scheduling problem with a fixed sequence of appointments, for which we must determine the arrival time for each appointment. We specifically examine two stochastic models. In the first model, we assume…

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is being integrated as an active element in 5G and beyond networks. Because of its flexibility and mobility, UAV base stations (UAV-BSs) can be deployed according to the ground user distributions and their…

In this paper, we study the problem of dynamic channel allocation for URLLC traffic in a multi-user multi-channel wireless network where urgent packets have to be successfully transmitted in a timely manner. We formulate the problem as a…

This paper addresses the problem of autonomous task allocation by a swarm of autonomous, interactive drones in large-scale, dynamic spatio-temporal environments. When each drone independently determines navigation, sensing, and recharging…

We consider a general queueing system with price-sensitive customers in which the service provider seeks to balance two objectives, maximizing the average revenue rate and minimizing the average queue length. Customers arrive according to a…

To support mission-critical services in emergency scenarios, wireless networks are required to provide stringent guarantees under massive Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications (mURLLC) constraints. Distributed unmanned aerial vehicle…

This paper investigates the problem of assigning shipping requests to ad hoc couriers in the context of crowdsourced urban delivery. The shipping requests are spatially distributed each with a limited time window between the earliest time…

A novel framework is proposed for quality of experience (QoE)-driven deployment and dynamic movement of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The problem of joint non-convex three-dimensional (3D) deployment and dynamic movement of the…

Planning a time-optimal trajectory for aerial robots is critical in many drone applications, such as rescue missions and package delivery, which have been widely researched in recent years. However, it still involves several challenges,…

Caches are an important component of modern computing systems given their significant impact on performance. In particular, caches play a key role in the cloud due to the nature of large-scale, data-intensive processing. One of the key…

We consider a hierarchical edge-cloud architecture in which services are provided to mobile users as chains of virtual network functions. Each service has specific computation requirements and target delay performance, which require placing…

Quantum computing has demonstrated its potential to solve various optimization problems, including drone scheduling, which is important not only for drone delivery but also for logistics in general. However, one of the main obstacles is…

In order to utilize network resources and provide a more reliable delivery of information, multipath routing algorithms are used with a higher priority than single path routing. But providing the quality of service (QoS) requirements while…

Real-time video demands quality-of-service (QoS) guarantees such as delay bounds for end-user satisfaction. Furthermore, the tolerable delay varies depending on the use case such as live streaming or two-way video conferencing. Due to the…

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, are being increasingly deployed throughout the globe as a means to streamline monitoring, inspection, mapping, and logistic routines. When dispatched on autonomous missions, drones…

In this report, we study the packet delay as a QoS metric in CR systems. The packet delay includes the queue waiting time and the service time. In this work, we study the effect of both the scheduling and the power allocation algorithms on…

Communication networks able to withstand hostile environments are critically important for disaster relief operations. In this paper, we consider a challenging scenario where drones have been compromised in the supply chain, during their…

With the recent technological innovation, unmanned aerial vehicles, known as drones, have found numerous applications including package and parcel delivery for shippers. Drone delivery offers benefits over conventional ground-based vehicle…

The use of drones in logistics is gaining more and more interest, and drones are becoming a more viable and common way of distributing parcels in an urban environment. As a consequence, there is a flourishing production of articles in the…
