Robust Resource Allocation To Secure Physical Layer Using Uav-Assisted Mobile Relay Communications In 5g Technology, Shakil Ahmed
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are also known as drones. Recently, UAVs have attracted the next generation researchers due to their flexible, dynamic, and cost-effective deployment, etc. Moreover, the UAVs have a wide range of application domains, such as rescue operation in the remote area, military surveillance, emergency application, etc. Given the UAVs are appropriately deployed, the UAVs provide continuous and reliable connectivity, on-demand, and cost-effective features to the desired destination in the wireless communication system. Thus, the UAVs can be a great choice to deploy as a mobile relay in co-existence with the base stations (BSs) on the ground …

According to the statistic given by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, 514 police officers casualties have been attributed to gunfire in the last decade(2008-2017). It is the leading cause of death among police officers and accounts for more than a third of the total 1511 police casualties in the past decade. In this project, we want to provide a safer solution to police officers that are surveying a building for one or multiple potential dangerous personnel. We are working to design and build a gesture-controlled quadcopter that can scout ahead of the officer and provide information about the …

Uav: Trajectory Generation And Simulation, Neha Bhushan
Electrical Engineering Theses
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have gained mass popularity in fields such as Defense, Agriculture, Sport and Photography etc. Their wide adoption in such research projects have opened new horizons for opportunities. However, UAVs operate in a rather dynamic environment since various factors such as airspeed, temperature, pressure, turbulence etc. are capable of hampering the flight operation. There is a need for rather robust trajectory generation algorithm and system such that it provides an easy user interface to specify the path of UAV through space, alongside making the UAV capable enough to maneuver itself from the initial to final position. This …

As control systems become more sophisticated, more accurate system models are needed for control law design and simulation. In this research, a nonlinear dynamic model of a quadcopter UAV is presented and model parameters are estimated off-line using in-flight experimental data. In addition, a model-based classical control law for the quadcopter UAV is designed, simulated, and then deployed in UAV flight tests. The intent of this research is to identify a model which may be simple enough to easily use for control law design, and accurate enough for simulation. In addition, a model-based classical control law is designed to for …
