Autonomous Real-Time Smoothness Control for Reliable DDQN-Based UAV Navigation Using Cellular Networks by Ghada Afifi, Yasser Gadallah

“…We propose to utilize broadcast signals from existing cellular networks to practically navigate the UAV from a given source to a destination in urban environments independent of GPS or other transmissible signals. For this purpose, we formulate the smooth trajectory planning problem as an optimization problem to provide a probabilistic guarantee on the success of the UAV mission considering the UAV dynamic and kinematic constraints. …”
