  • 分层控制:慢速调度无人机位置,快速分配用户资源
  • eMBB服务达标率提升17%,URLLC准时交付率提升42%
  • 基于深度强化学习的无序用户调度器,适配动态空口环境

搭载5G新空口基站(gNB)的无人飞行器可作为按需部署的频段2(FR2)容量层增强地面网络。然而,这种灵活性使物理拓扑与无线资源管理紧密耦合:无人机移动改变遮挡、信道质量及有效服务用户集合,而业务需求、队列和时延要求在更短时间内变化。现有基于O-RAN的无人机研究多孤立优化轨迹、部署、关联或资源分配,未协调慢速空中控制与快速用户级调度。本文利用O-RAN解耦架构、关键性能指标(KPI)监控和多时间尺度的无线接入网智能控制器(RIC)实现协同控制:非实时RIC应用(rApp)基于聚合KPI与无线环境上下文,联合调控系留无人机位置与eMBB/URLLC切片预算;近实时RIC应用(xApp)在该预算内进行用户级资源分配。xApp采用排列等变的DeepSets Soft Actor-Critic(D-SAC)调度器,将用户视为无序集合,在Sionna RT射线追踪信道环境中训练。所提分层控制器使eMBB SLA满足度提升最高达17%,URLLC准时交付率提升最高达42%;学习型rApp进一步使URLLC准时交付率比基线提升最高20%。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-mounted 5G New Radio base stations (gNBs) can augment terrestrial networks with an on-demand, repositionable Frequency Range 2 (FR2) capacity layer. This flexibility, however, couples the physical network topology with radio-resource management: UAV movement reshapes blockage, channel quality, and the set of effectively served users, while traffic demand, queues, and service requirements evolve at a much faster timescale. Existing Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN)-enabled UAV studies optimize trajectory, deployment, association, or resource allocation, but typically in isolation, without coordinating slow aerial control with fast per-user scheduling. We instead exploit O-RAN disaggregation, Key Performance Indicator (KPI) monitoring, and multi-timescale RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) control to address this coupling: a Non-Real-Time RIC rApp uses aggregated KPIs and radio-environment context to jointly control tethered UAV placement and the enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB)/Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication (URLLC) slice budget, while a Near-Real-Time RIC xApp allocates per-user resources within that budget. We realize this xApp as a permutation-equivariant DeepSets Soft Actor-Critic (D-SAC) scheduler that treats the users as an unordered set, trained in a Sionna RT ray traced channel. The resulting hierarchical controller improves eMBB SLA satisfaction by up to 17% and URLLC on-time delivery by up to 42% over classical and learned schedulers; the learned rApp further raises URLLC on-time delivery by up to 20% over baselines.
