The nature\u00a0limitations of UAVs have imposed technical restrictions on weight, size, and energy capability, thereby affecting the durability and performance of UAVs. The key goal of this\u00a0dissertation is to propose and develop new frameworks and efficient optimization algorithms\u00a0to solve novel challenging problems, facilitate the design and deployment of UAV-enabled\u00a0communications. Consequently, these proposed algorithms or frameworks can become one\u00a0of the foundations for deploying UAVs in future wireless systems. Specifically, this dissertation investigates different UAV communication systems by addressing several important\u00a0research problems through four emerging scenarios: 1) Design UAV trajectory based on\u00a0traveling salesman problem with time window (TSPTW); 2) Full-duplex (FD) UAV relay-assisted emergency communications in IoT networks; 3) Backscatter- and cache-assisted\u00a0UAV communications; and 4) Satellite- and cache-assisted UAV communications in 6G\u00a0aerial networks.<\/p><\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please, join the PhD defence through this link.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":1036,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_image_focal_point":[],"show_featured_caption":false,"ulux_newsletter_groups":"","uluxPostTitle":"","uluxPrePostTitle":"","_trash_the_other_posts":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"event_start_date":"2021-11-24 13:30:00","event_end_date":"2021-11-24 15:00:00","event_speaker_name":"Hieu Tran Dinh (SigCom group)","event_speaker_link":"","event_is_online":false,"event_location":"","event_street":"","event_location_link":"","event_zip_code":"","event_city":"","event_country":"LU"},"events-topic":[],"events-type":[],"organisation":[183],"authorship":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v22.3) -
