Energy Outage Analysis for NOMA-Based UAV-MEC with Imperfect CSI and SIC in IoT Network
摘要
This research explores a framework integrating unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with mobile-edge computing (MEC) to address the computational constraints of edge IoT device (EID). By deploying a UAV as an edge server, the system supports two EID clusters, leveraging nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA) to optimize task offloading efficiency. The study derives analytical closed-form expressions for energy outage probability (EOP) under the Nakagami-m fading channel, accounting for the effects of imperfect CSI (iCSI) and imperfect SIC (iSIC) System performance is assessed through these metrics, and the theoretical findings are validated using Monte-Carlo simulations, confirming the accuracy of the proposed UAV-enabled MEC framework.
