With significantly dynamic characteristics of the new aerial users, the emerging cellular-enabled unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communication paradigm raises great challenges to current research of UAV applications. As far as the robust channel allocation is concerned, the high mobility of UAV nodes and the unexpected disturbance of external environment would render most existing methods which rely on definite information and are vulnerable to dynamic environment, become less attractive or even invalid. In this paper, we particularly investigate a cellular-enabled mesh UAV network exploiting partially overlapping channels (POCs), and propose a distributed fuzzy space based learning scheme for POCs allocation to combat the dynamic environment. Rather than the perfect channel state information (CSI) assumption, the dynamic and uncertain CSI of UAVs is characterized by fuzzy number. On this basis, the allocation process can be implemented in a mapped fuzzy space. Integrating fuzzy-logic and game based learning, we formulate the problem of POCs assignment as a fuzzy payoffs game (FPG), and demonstrate the existence of fuzzy Nash equilibrium for our designed FPG. Then, with the derived priority vector in the fuzzy space, the equilibrium solution can be achieved by the proposed algorithm. Numerical simulations demonstrate the advantages of our new scheme.
