| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The goal of this research is to create the basic technology to build an autonomous distributed communication platform that can provide an environment for advanced disaster response applications in situations where communication infrastructure is unavailable, such as in a large-scale disaster, by integrating Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) networks and Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) technology. To achieve this, we proposed a method to reduce system latency by distributing the processing load and a method to optimize the location of UAVs and resource allocation by avoiding interference. The effectiveness of the proposed method was verified by computer simulation.
