Network Flying Platforms (NFPs) such as unmanned aerial vehicles, unmanned balloons or drones flying at low/medium/high altitude can be employed to enhance network coverage and capacity by deploying a swarm of flying platforms that…

This paper studies a multi-UAV wireless network, in which multiple UAV users share the same spectrum to send individual messages to their respectively associated ground base stations (GBSs). The UAV users aim to optimize their locations to…

This paper proposes a distributed Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) algorithm for a team of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The proposed MARL algorithm allows UAVs to learn cooperatively to provide a full coverage of an unknown…

Non terrestrial networks are critical for achieving global 6G coverage, yet efficient resource management in aerial and space environments remains challenging due to limited onboard power and dynamic operational conditions. Network slicing…
