SAC-MS: Joint Slice Resource Allocation, User Association and UAV Trajectory Optimization with No-Fly Zone...

With the rapid growth of user service demands, space-air-ground integrated networks (SAGINs) face challenges such as limited resources, complex connectivity, diverse service requirements, and no-fly zone (NFZ) constraints. To address these issues, this paper proposes a joint optimization approach under NFZ constraints, maximizing system utility by simultaneously optimizing user association, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) trajectory, and slice resource allocation. Due to the problem's non-convexity, it is decomposed into three subproblems: user association, UAV trajectory optimization, and slice resource allocation. To solve them efficiently, we design the iterative SAC-MS algorithm, which combines matching game theory for user association, sequential convex approximation (SCA) for UAV trajectory, and soft actor-critic (SAC) reinforcement learning for slice resource allocation. Simulation results show that SAC-MS outperforms TD3-MS, DDPG-MS, DQN-MS, and hard slicing, improving system utility by 10.53%, 13.17%, 31.25%, and 45.38%, respectively.
