摘　　要：This paper solves an energy-efficient optimization problem of a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) assisted full-duplex mobile relaying in maritime communication environments.Taking the speed and the acceleration of the UAV and the information-causality constraints into consideration,the energy-efficiency of the system under investigation is maximized by jointly optimizing the UAV’s trajectory and the individual transmit power levels of the source and the UAV relay nodes.The optimization problem is non-convex and thus cannot be solved directly.Therefore,it is decoupled into two subproblems.One sub-problem is for the transmit power control at the source and the UAV relay nodes,and the other aims at optimizing the UAV s flight trajectory.By using the Lagrangian dual and Dinkelbach methods,the two sub-problems are solved,leading to an iterative algorithm for the joint design of transmit power control and trajectory optimization.Computer simulations demonstrated that by conducting the proposed algorithm,the flight trajectory of the UAV and the individual transmit power levels of the nodes can be flexibly adjusted according to the system conditions,and the proposed algorithm can achieve signiflcantly higher energy efficiency as compared with the other benchmark schemes.
