Abstract
Deploying of Fifth Generation and Beyond Fifth Generation (5G/B5G) wireless networks will require wider coverage, flexible connectivity, low latency, support for a large number of user devices, and more bandwidth. This article explores the paradigm that Remotely Piloted Air Systems (RPASs) or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are integrated as a communication platform with cellular networks using radio access. It is important to know the possibilities and ways of such integration for effective interaction with RPASs. This paper studies the issues of ensuring the required Quality of Service (QoS) during heavy traffic and the choice of necessary data transmission modes for this. Models of RPAS communication channels with different architectures were created. The relationships between models’ performance and traffic parameters were obtained using the NetCracker Professional 4.1 software. The dependencies of the Average Utilization (AU) on the Transaction Size (TS) were analyzed. The effects of different bandwidths and the Bit Error Rate (BER) were studied. The traffic characteristics in all models were compared.

Summary
Piloted Air Systems (RPASs) are playing an increasingly important role in civilian, community, and military purposes. RPASs can be used as wireless access points or relay nodes to increase cellular terrestrial coverage, as well as for surveillance purposes with greater coverage compared to conventional fixed sensor nodes. The flexible spatial network architecture and mobility of RPASs bring great benefits to 5G/B5G cellular systems when integrated. It is very important to develop new structures for communication, processing and transmission of information in real time to support communication systems of RPASs/Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) with high data transfer rates, helping terrestrial cellular communications in future wireless cellular networks. Reviews and tutorials are devoted: To wireless communications with UAV [5], UAV cellular communications [6], 5G network availability for operation with drones [7], cellular-connected UAVs [8], UAVs for wireless networks [9], and UAV communications for 5G and beyond [10]
