Frequency channel assignment for networked UAVs using a hedonic game

Abstract

This paper addresses frequency assignment for multiple UAVs cooperating on a communication network. In order to directly consider channel interference, this paper proposes to formulate the frequency assignment problem based on a game theoretical framework. Then, a frequency assignment algorithm is developed for the frequency channel assignment problem for networked UAVs. The performance of the proposed algorithm is validated through numerical simulations, especially in terms of optimality and computational complexity of the algorithm.
