Stable Marriage Matching for Traffic-Aware Space-Air-Ground Integrated Networks: A Gale-Shapley Algorithmic Approach

Abstract: In keeping with the rapid development of communication technology, a new communication structure is required in a next-generation communication system. In particular, research using High Altitude Platform (HAP) or Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV) in existing terrestrial networks is active. In this paper, we propose matching HAP and UAV using the Gale-Shapley algorithm in a relay communication situation. The numerical simulation results demonstrate that applying the Gale-Shapley algorithm shows superior performance compared to random matching.
