About this book
Second type of application is to exploit UAVs for sensing purposes, such as smart agriculture, security monitoring, and traffic surveillance. Due to the limited computation capability of UAVs, the real-time sensory data needs to be transmitted to the BS for real-time data processing. The cellular networks are necessarily committed to support the data transmission for UAVs, which the authors refer to as Cellular assisted UAV Sensing. To support real-time sensing streaming, the authors design joint sensing and communication protocols, develop novel beamforming and estimation algorithms, and study efficient distributed resource optimization methods.
This book targets signal processing engineers, computer and information scientists, applied mathematicians and statisticians, as well as systems engineers to carve out the role that analytical and experimental engineering has to play in UAV research and development. Undergraduate students, industry managers, government research agency workers and general readers interested in the fields of communications and networks will also want to read this book.

About the authors
Lingyang Song received his PhD from the University of York, UK, in 2007, where he received the K. M. Stott Prize for excellent research. He worked as a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Oslo, Norway, and Harvard University, until rejoining Philips Research UK in March 2008. In May 2009, he joined the School of Electronics Engineering and Computer Science, Peking University, China, as a full professor. His main research interests include cooperative and cognitive communications, physical layer security, and wireless ad hoc/sensor networks. He published extensively, wrote 6 text books, and is co-inventor of a number of patents (standard contributions). He received 9 paper awards in IEEE journal and conferences including IEEE JSAC 2016, IEEE WCNC 2012, ICC 2014, Globecom 2014, ICC 2015, etc. He is currently on the Editorial Board of IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications and Journal of Network and Computer Applications. He served as the TPC co-chairs for the International Conference on Ubiquitous and Future Networks (ICUFN2011/2012), symposium co-chairs in the International Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing Conference (IWCMC 2009/2010), IEEE International Conference on Communication Technology (ICCT2011), and IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC 2014, 2015). He is the recipient of 2012 IEEE Asia Pacific (AP) Young Researcher Award. Dr. Song is a senior member of IEEE, and IEEE ComSoc distinguished lecturer since 2015.
Zhu Han received the B.S. degree in electronic engineering from Tsinghua University, in 1997, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park, in 1999 and 2003, respectively. From 2000 to 2002, he was an R&D Engineer of JDSU, Germantown, Maryland. From 2003 to 2006, he was a Research Associate at the University of Maryland. From 2006 to 2008, he was an assistant professor in Boise State University, Idaho. Currently, he is a Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering Department as well as Computer Science Department at the University of Houston, Texas. His research interests include wireless resource allocation and management, wireless communications and networking, game theory, wireless multimedia, security, and smart grid communication. Dr. Han received an NSF CareerAward in 2010, the Fred W. Ellersick Prize of the IEEE Communication Society in 2011, the EURASIP Best Paper Award for the Journal on Advances in Signal Processing in 2015, several best paper awards in IEEE conferences, and is currently an IEEE Communications Society Distinguished Lecturer.
