Περίληψη
The emergence of next-generation internet-of-things (NG-IoT) applications introduces several challenges for the sixth-generation (6G) mobile networks, such as massive connectivity, increased network capacity, and extremely low-latency. To countermeasure the aforementioned challenges, ultra-dense networking has been widely identified as a possible solution. However, the dense deployment of base stations (BSs) is not always possible or cost-efficient. Drone-base-stations (DBSs) can facilitate network expansion and efficiently address the requirements of NG-IoT. In addition, due to their flexibility, they can provide on-demand connectivity in emergency scenarios or address temporary increases in network traffic. Nevertheless, the optimal placement of a DBS is not a straightforward task due to the limited energy reserves and the increased signal quality degradation in air-to-ground links. To this end, swarm intelligence approaches can be attractive solutions for determining the optimal position of the DBS in the three-dimensional (3D) space. In this work, we explore well-known swarm intelligence approaches, namely the Cuckoo Search (CS), Elephant Herd Optimization (EHO), Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO), Monarch Butterfly Optimization (MBO), Salp Swarm Algorithm (SSA), and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and investigate their performance and efficiency in solving the aforementioned problem. In particular, we investigate the performance of three scenarios in the presence of different swarm intelligence approaches. Additionally, we carry out non-parametric statistical tests, namely the Friedman and Wilcoxon tests, in order to compare the different approaches.
