An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based flying base station (BS) is capable of utilizing its mobility to expand connectivity coverage, enhance communication channel quality, and improve data rate and latency, thereby boosting network reliability. Especially in outdoor urban environments, UAVs can deliver reliable connectivity even in crowded events requiring high-performance communication. However, unique challenges arise from the UAV’s user-dependent positioning, battery limitations, and dynamic, distributed operation, which create vulnerabilities distinct from traditional mobile networks. This paper addresses these challenges by employing millimeter-Wave (mm-Wave) and Massive MIMO (Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output) 5G-NR technologies to improve the overall Quality of Service (QoS) in UAV-based communications, including Air-to-Ground (A2G), Ground-to-Air (G2A), and Air-to-Air (A2A) links.

摘要

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based flying base station (BS) is capable of utilizing its mobility to expand connectivity coverage, enhance communication channel quality, and improve data rate and latency, thereby boosting network reliability. Especially in outdoor urban environments, UAVs can deliver reliable connectivity even in crowded events requiring high-performance communication. However, unique challenges arise from the UAV’s user-dependent positioning, battery limitations, and dynamic, distributed operation, which create vulnerabilities distinct from traditional mobile networks. This paper addresses these challenges by employing millimeter-Wave (mm-Wave) and Massive MIMO (Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output) 5G-NR technologies to improve the overall Quality of Service (QoS) in UAV-based communications, including Air-to-Ground (A2G), Ground-to-Air (G2A), and Air-to-Air (A2A) links.
