• Abstract: Internet of unmanned aerial vehicle (I-UAV) networks promise to accomplish sensing and transmission tasks quickly, robustly, and cost-efficiently via effective cooperation among UAVs. To achieve the promising benefits, the crucial I-UAV networking issue should be tackled. This article argues that I-UAV networking can be classified into three categories, quality-of-service (QoS) driven networking, quality-of-experience (QoE) driven networking, and situation aware networking. Each category of networking poses emerging challenges which have severe effects on the safe and efficient accomplishment of I-UAV missions. This article elaborately analyzes these challenges and expounds on the corresponding intelligent approaches to tackle the I-UAV networking issue. Besides, considering the uplifting effect of extending the scalability of I-UAV networks through cooperating with high altitude platforms (HAPs), this article gives an overview of the integrated HAP and I-UAV networks and presents the corresponding networking challenges and intelligent approaches.

We formulate a Markov decision process and propose two deep reinforcement learning algorithms to solve the optimization problem of maximizing the total network sum-rate.

  5G networks need to support three typical usage scenarios, namely, enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC) and massive machine-type communications (mMTC) On the one hand, UAVs can be leveraged as cost-effective aerial platforms to provide ground users with enhanced communication services by exploiting their high cruising altitude and controllable maneuverability in 3D space. On the other hand, providing such communication services simultaneously for both UAV and ground users poses new challenges due to the need for ubiquitous 3D signal coverage as well as the strong air-ground network interference.
