摘要:

随着对无人机毫米波连接的兴趣日益增长,一个基本问题是针对地面用户的网络是否也可以提供足够的空中覆盖。为了评估这种可能性,本文提出了一种新的评估方法,使用生成模型训练详细的光线跟踪数据。这些模型捕捉复杂的传播特性,可以很容易地结合天线和波束成形的假设。使用这些模型进行的大量模拟表明,在典型的微蜂窝密度下,标准(街道水平和向下倾斜)基站确实可以提供令人满意的无人机覆盖范围。有趣的是,通过天线旁瓣和强反射的结合,覆盖是可能的。在稀疏部署的情况下,仅在逐渐升高的高度上保证覆盖。额外的专用(屋顶安装和向上倾斜)基站可以加强覆盖范围,前提是其密度与标准部署的密度相当,并有助于后者的稀疏部署。

英文摘要:

With growing interest in mmWave connectivity for UAVs, a basic question is whether networks intended for terrestrial users can provide sufficient aerial coverage as well. To assess this possibility, the paper proposes a novel evaluation methodology using generative models trained on detailed ray tracing data. These models capture complex propagation characteristics and can be readily combined with antenna and beamforming assumptions. Extensive simulation using these models indicate that standard (street-level and downtilted) base stations at typical microcellular densities can indeed provide satisfactory UAV coverage. Interestingly, the coverage is possible via a conjunction of antenna sidelobes and strong reflections. With sparser deployments, the coverage is only guaranteed at progressively higher altitudes. Additional dedicated (rooftop-mounted and uptilted) base stations strengthen the coverage provided that their density is comparable to that of the standard deployment, and would be instrumental for sparse deployments of the latter.
