Titre : | Contribution to the UAV-based mobile edge computing communication strategies | Type de document : | document multimédia | Auteurs : | Yousra Cheriguene, Auteur ; Chaker Abdelaziz Kerrache, Directeur de thèse ; Fatima Zahra Bousbaa, Directeur de thèse | Editeur : | Laghouat : Université Amar Telidji - Département d'informatique | Année de publication : | 2024 | Importance : | 120 p. | Langues : | Anglais | Mots-clés : | Unmanned aerial vehicle UAV Federated learning FL Edge computing MEC | Résumé : | In recent years, the surge in data from smart devices and the Internet of Things (IoT) has propelled the need for efficient data storage, transportation, and analysis. This has led to a groundbreaking era in wireless communication and computing frameworks with the integration of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in Mobile Edge Computing (MEC). This thesis explores UAV-assisted MEC, highlighting opportunities and addressing key challenges, specifically focusing on implementing Federated Learning (FL). FL, a decentralized machine learning (ML) method, allows users to collectively train an ML model without revealing their private local datasets. The thesis first optimizes UAV participant selection for edge FL, enhancing accuracy by considering factors like energy consumption, communication quality, and
local dataset diversity. Empirical studies demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed selection scheme over the random selection benchmark. The second contribution introduces a novel client selection method improving convergence by prioritizing UAVs with high reliability and excluding malicious UAVs. The strategy outperforms baseline methods, as verified by evaluations under diverse attack scenarios. The third contribution presents an energy-efficient inter-UAV multicast routing protocol, COCOMA, and its enhancement, COCOMA+. Extensive simulations confirm their efficacy in establishing an efficient communication backbone with Quality-of-Service (QoS) attributes and reducing total emission energy. The thesis concludes by outlining open challenges and initiating discussions on future
research directions in UAV-assisted MEC, fostering continued advancements and innovation. | note de thèses : | Thése de doctorat en informatique |
