Abstract
Recently, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have grabbed impressive attention from industry and research network, because of the fastergrowth in a wide scope of applications. Especially, UAVs are being utilized to ensure a better solution to a dependable and cost-effective wireless communication network from the sky. The adoption of UAVs has been considered as an alternative supplement of existing cellular networks, to accomplish better transmission efficiency with enhanced coverage and network capacity. This article has represented some wireless communication scenarios where UAVs can be utilized to ensure better coverage, enhancement of efficiency and capacity. After that, to establish the effectiveness of UAVs in wireless communication thepaper has included several performance scenarios (path loss, attenuation, and data rate) after utilizing UAVs in the wireless network. Finally concluded with discussing several challengesfor UAV assisted wireless networks and the scopes of further enhancement of such kind of networks. This article might be informative to those who are engaged in research regarding UAV assisted wireless communication.
Highlights
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, allude to a class of aerial vehicle that works without a human pilot on board
To combat the effect of rainfall in UAV assisted communication link, low-frequency carriers can be utilized during the high rainfall and the system can be designed in such a way that it can switch to the high-frequency carriers when there is no rainfall or the rainfall is low or moderate
The utilization of UAVs is rapidly increasing in wireless networking
Summary
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, allude to a class of aerial vehicle that works without a human pilot on board. The light of UAVs can be acknowledged with different degrees of autonomy: either remotely controlled by an administrator or autonomously by the installed sensors and onboard computers or controllers programmed to perform dedicated tasks autonomously Because of their capacity to hover, adequate adaptability, ease of deployment, high maneuverability, lower maintenance, and operating costs, UAVs have grabbed significant consideration recently for business applications. The incorporation of intelligence into the UAV swarm will eventually bring heaps of advantages for 5G cellular networks, for example, higher spectral efficiency and better QoE (quality of experience) for ground UEs. From the above mentioned practical application scenarios, it can be said that the widespread utilization of UAVs has asserted a significant influence on wireless communication.
