Use cases comprise emergency\nresponse, wildfire suppression, surveillance, and cellular communications in\ncrowded events to name a few. A central problem to enable this technology is to\nplace such aerial base stations (AirBSs) in locations that approximately\noptimize the relevant communication metrics. To alleviate the limitations of\nexisting algorithms, which require intensive and reliable communications among\nAirBSs or between the AirBSs and a central controller, this paper leverages\nstochastic optimization and machine learning techniques to put forth an\nadaptive and decentralized algorithm for AirBS placement without inter-AirBS\ncooperation or communication. The approach relies on a smart design of the\nnetwork utility function and on a stochastic gradient ascent iteration that can\nbe evaluated with information available in practical scenarios. To complement\nthe theoretical convergence properties, a simulation study corroborates the\neffectiveness of the proposed scheme.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1905.03988v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1905.03988v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"non-cooperative-aerial-base-station-placement","repo_url":"https://github.com/fachu000/non_cooperative_aerial_base_station_placement","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"stochastic-optimization","task_name":"Stochastic Optimization"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
