蜂窝连接无人机综述:设计挑战、实现5G/ B5G创新和实验进展

A Survey on Cellular-connected UAVs: Design Challenges, Enabling 5G/B5G Innovations, and Experimental Advancements

Debashisha Mishra, Enrico Natalizio

摘要:

作为空中机器人的一个新兴领域,无人机(UAV)在无线网络研究界获得了极大的研究兴趣。一旦国家立法允许无人机自主飞行,我们将看到成群的无人机在智慧城市的天空中完成不同的任务:包裹递送,基础设施监控,事件拍摄,监视,跟踪等无人机生态系统可以从现有的5G/B5 G蜂窝网络中受益,可以通过不同的方式来增强无人机通信。由于无人机在3D空间中灵活移动、自主操作和智能放置的固有特性,这些智能设备满足了广泛的无线应用和用例。这项工作旨在深入探索5G/B5 G蜂窝系统和无人机技术之间的集成协同作用,其中无人机作为新的空中用户设备(UE)集成到现有的蜂窝网络中。在这种集成中,无人机在蜂窝覆盖范围内扮演飞行用户的角色,因此它们被称为蜂窝连接的无人机(也称为蜂窝连接的无人机)。UAV-UE、无人机-UE、5G连接的无人机或空中用户)。这项工作的主要重点是对集成挑战进行广泛的研究,以及关键的5G/B5 G技术创新,以及在设计原型和现场试验方面的持续努力,以证实蜂窝连接无人机。这项研究强调了3GPP标准化方面的最新进展,并强调了在成功采用这项有前途的技术之前必须考虑的社会经济问题。各种开放的问题铺平了道路,未来的研究机会也进行了讨论。

英文摘要:

As an emerging field of aerial robotics, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have gained significant research interest within the wireless networking research community. As soon as national legislations allow UAVs to fly autonomously, we will see swarms of UAV populating the sky of our smart cities to accomplish different missions: parcel delivery, infrastructure monitoring, event filming, surveillance, tracking, etc. The UAV ecosystem can benefit from existing 5G/B5G cellular networks, which can be exploited in different ways to enhance UAV communications. Because of the inherent characteristics of UAV pertaining to flexible mobility in 3D space, autonomous operation and intelligent placement, these smart devices cater to wide range of wireless applications and use cases. This work aims at presenting an in-depth exploration of integration synergies between 5G/B5G cellular systems and UAV technology, where the UAV is integrated as a new aerial User Equipment (UE) to existing cellular networks. In this integration, the UAVs perform the role of flying users within cellular coverage, thus they are termed as cellular-connected UAVs (a.k.a. UAV-UE, drone-UE, 5G-connected drone, or aerial user). The main focus of this work is to present an extensive study of integration challenges along with key 5G/B5G technological innovations and ongoing efforts in design prototyping and field trials corroborating cellular-connected UAVs. This study highlights recent progress updates with respect to 3GPP standardization and emphasizes socio-economic concerns that must be accounted before successful adoption of this promising technology. Various open problems paving the path to future research opportunities are also discussed.
