“…Because data transmission and setup operations to establish links consume the energy of drones, a common objective function is to maximize energy efficiency or minimize energy to achieve the desired communication quality . Alternatively, the number of established communication links and the quality of communication , such as packet transmission delay or the coverage probability , should be optimized given limited resources, such as the limited energy of the drone.…”

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or aerial drones, are an emerging technology with significant market potential. UAVs may lead to substantial cost savings in, for instance, monitoring of difficult‐to‐access infrastructure, spraying fields and performing surveillance in precision agriculture, as well as in deliveries of packages. In some applications, like disaster management, transport of medical supplies, or environmental monitoring, aerial drones may even help save lives. In this article, we provide a literature survey on optimization approaches to civil applications of UAVs. Our goal is to provide a fast point of entry into the topic for interested researchers and operations planning specialists. We describe the most promising aerial drone applications and outline characteristics of aerial drones relevant to operations planning. In this review of more than 200 articles, we provide insights into widespread and emerging modeling approaches. We conclude by suggesting promising directions for future research.

“…Furthermore, this model complements the optimum deployment of UAVs to ensure maximum reliability in terms of the outage capacity and the BER using static and mobile aerial relays in [91]. It increases the number of users in cellular-assisted UAV network in [92] and UAV for data caching purpose in [93]. In these applications, UAV channel model incorporates both LOS and NLOS propagation conditions for a certain set of environmental parameters.…”

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have gained great interest for rapid deployment in both civil and military applications. UAV communication has its own distinctive channel characteristics compared with widely used cellular and satellite systems. Thus, accurate channel characterization is crucial for the performance optimization and design of efficient UAV communication systems. However, several challenges exist in UAV channel modeling. For example, propagation characteristics of UAV channels are still less explored for spatial and temporal variations in non-stationary channels. Also, airframe shadowing has not yet been investigated for small size rotary UAVs. This paper provides an extensive survey on the measurement campaigns launched for UAV channel modeling using low altitude platforms and discusses various channel characterization efforts. We also review the contemporary perspective of UAV channel modeling approaches and outline some future research challenges in this domain.

Abstract-The 5th generation of cellular networks (5G) will provide high speed and high-availability wireless links for communication between mobile users. The usage of aerial platforms as base stations has been recently proposed to meet the above requirements, especially in densely-packed urban areas. To make an accurate prediction of the performance in such a communication system the availability of suitable channel models is a fundamental requirement. Here, we concentrate on a simple path loss and shadow fading channel model that is commonly used to describe the propagation between an aerial base station and a user on the ground. A commercial 3D raytracing simulator is used to extract the main parameters used in the model and the Line of Sight/Non Line of Sight probabilities as a function of the transmitter height and elevation angle. We consider three reference scenarios: Suburban, Urban and Urban High Rise generated according to ITU-R specifications. As a novel contribution, we also show simulation results for the spatial correlation of the received signal in the three considered scenarios.
