  Abstract

In this study, a beam-division multiple-access (BDMA) based UAV relay is considered. The BDMA-based relay UAV transmits signals to multiuser UAVs. Using virtual uplink and Lagrangian dualities, a beamforming vector that minimizes power consumption and sustains quality-of-service (QoS) is designed. Numerical results verify that the designed beamforming achieves the minimum required power consumption irrespective of the QoS threshold for the optimum beamforming performance, compared to a zero-forcing (ZF) beamforming scheme. Furthermore, the numerical results for the minimum required power consumption in terms of the number of antennas at a relay UAV and the position of the user UAVs provide the direction of future work.
