| Abstract | Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have emerged as promising relay platforms to improve the connectivity of ground Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs). Due to the relatively high cost of UAVs, a lot of efforts have been made to optimize the deployment of UAVs so that the number of UAVs needed in maintaining the connectivity of ground nodes can be minimized. However, existing work on optimization of UAVs' deployment hasn't considered the situation that there are already some UAVs deployed in the field. In this paper, we study the problem of deploying minimum number of UAVs to maintain the connectivity of ground MANETs under the condition that some UAVs have already been deployed in the field. We formulate this problem as a Minimum Steiner Tree problem with Existing Mobile Steiner points under Edge Length Bound constraints (MST-EMSELB) and prove that the problem is NP-Complete. We also propose an Existing UAVs Aware (EUA) polynomial time approximate algorithm for the MST-EMSELB problem that uses a maximum match heuristic to compute new positions for existing UAVs. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed EUA method has bester performance than a non-EUA method in the term of needed new UAV numbers. Compared with the non-EUA method, the EUA method can reduce at most 60% of the new UAVs number. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
