Abstract
The application of the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in future wireless networks is getting more and more popular. This article investigates the flight trajectory optimization problem with minimum energy consumption when the UAVs are communicating with the ground terminals (GT) for data collections. The specific flying speed is determined to minimize the energy consumption of the whole flying process. In addition, the algorithms to find the optimal trajectory are proposed. Experimental results are presented to show the effectiveness of our proposed algorithms.
