ABSTRACT
Abstract
This paper studies a multi-UAV-assisted smart-agriculture IoT control system whose access-link capacity is degraded by DDoS attacks. It formulates an attack-aware constrained co-optimization problem that jointly determines applied control commands, UAV–IoT associations, communication resources, and UAV mobility while accounting for packet-delivery reliability and subsystem safety. A distributed model predictive control framework is used to coordinate control and communication decisions under attack-induced capacity loss.
