文摘Along with natural disasters,the destruction of communication infrastructures leads to the congestion or failure of communication networks.Unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs),which are with a high flexibility,can be employed as temporary base stations to establish emergency networks.To relieve the backhaul burden of UAVs,some imperative contents can be cached by terrestrial cache-enabled rescuers(CERs)and provide for victims with device-to-device(D2D)transmissions.To support the effectiveness and timeliness of emergency communication,the delay-bounded quality-of-service(QoS)requirement and network throughput are desired to be comprehensively considered,which imposes a new challenge for caching placement and CER deployment.In this paper,we focus on joint caching placement and CER deployment to maximize the effective capacity subject to delay-bounded QoS requirement.The overall non-convex problem is transformed into the caching placement and the CER deployment sub-problems.Then,we develop the QoS-aware caching placement scheme with fixed CER deployment density and obtain the QoS-aware CER deployment density with fixed caching placement.Based on the block-coordinate descent method,we also propose the joint caching placement and CER deployment scheme,which can not only effectively enhance average effective capacity but also guarantee the delay-bounded QoS requirement.Also,numerical simulations are conducted to show the performances of the proposed schemes.
