摘要:

无人机(UAV)在各种应用中的使用日益增多,需要无处不在的可靠连接,以便在这些设备和地面终端之间进行安全控制和数据交换。根据应用,无人机上的无线设备可以是与地面用户共存的空中用户设备(AUE),也可以是为地面用户提供一系列服务的无线基础设施的一部分。例如,AUE可用于实时搜索和救援,而空中基站(ABS)可增强无线网络的覆盖范围、容量和能效。在这两种情况下,基于无人机的解决方案都是可扩展的,移动的,快速部署的。然而,必须解决几个技术挑战。在这项工作中,我们提出了一个教程与无人机的无线通信,考虑到广泛的潜在应用。这项工作的主要目标是提供一个完整的概述的主要场景(AUE和ABS),渠道和性能模型,比较它们,并讨论开放的研究点。这项工作全面概述了迄今为止所做的研究,并描绘了一幅全面的画面,以促进新的想法和解决方案,同时避免重复过去的工作。我们首先讨论与无人机无线通信的开放性挑战。为了回答所提出的问题,我们专注于无人机通信基础知识,主要提供必要的信道建模背景,并给出如何使用各种信道模型的指导方针。接下来,理论,模拟和测量为基础的方法,以解决AUE使用的关键挑战,提出。此外,在这项工作中,我们的目标是提供一个全面的概述如何无人机安装的设备可以用作通信网络的一部分。在理论分析的基础上,我们展示了如何优化各种网络参数。

英文摘要:

The growing use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for various applications requires ubiquitous and reliable connectivity for safe control and data exchange between these devices and ground terminals. Depending on the application, UAV-mounted wireless equipment can either be an aerial user equipment (AUE) that co-exists with the terrestrial users, or it can be a part of wireless infrastructure providing a range of services to the ground users. For instance, AUE can be used for real-time search and rescue and Aerial Base Station (ABS) can enhance coverage, capacity and energy efficiency of wireless networks. In both cases, UAV-based solutions are scalable, mobile, fast to deploy. However, several technical challenges have to be addressed. In this work, we present a tutorial on wireless communication with UAVs, taking into account a wide range of potential applications. The main goal of this work is to provide a complete overview of the main scenarios (AUE and ABS), channel and performance models, compare them, and discuss open research points. This work gives a comprehensive overview of the research done until now and depicts a comprehensive picture to foster new ideas and solutions while avoiding duplication of past work. We start by discussing the open challenges of wireless communication with UAVs. To give answers to the posed questions, we focus on the UAV communication basics, mainly providing the necessary channel modeling background and giving guidelines on how various channel models should be used. Next, theoretical, simulation- and measurement-based approaches, to address the key challenges for AUE usage, are presented. Moreover, in this work, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview on how UAV-mounted equipment can be used as a part of a communication network. Based on the theoretical analysis, we show how various network parameters can be optimized.
