“…In [57], some of the measurement environments in the current paper are considered to test the accuracy of graph modeling channel simulation techniques to reconstruct the PDP and MPCs of the A2G UAV channel. It is also worth noting that [58] proposes channel emulation in multiprobe anechoic chambers as a feasible alternative to extensive measurement campaigns.…”

Due to the decrease in cost, size and weight, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are becoming more and more popular for general-purpose civil and commercial applications. Provision of communication services to UAVs both for user data and control messaging by using off-the-shelf terrestrial cellular deployments introduces several technical challenges. In this paper, an approach to the air-to-ground channel characterization for low-height UAVs based on an extensive measurement campaign is proposed, giving special attention to the comparison of the results when a typical directional antenna for network deployments is used and when a quasi-omnidirectional one is considered. Channel characteristics like path loss, shadow fading, root mean square delay and Doppler frequency spreads and the K-factor are statistically characterized for different suburban scenarios.

“…They reveal that the multipath components experience a progress of decreasing with height ascending. To replay the measured or simulated A2G radio channels of various scenarios in lab environment in a repeatable and controlled way, Miao et al [66] simulated the UAV A2G channel in low altitude by ray tracer, and emulated the simulated channel in multi-probe anechoic chamber (MPAC) using over-the-air (OTA) testing techniques [67].…”

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have stroke great interested both by the academic community and the industrial community due to their diverse military applications and civilian applications. Furthermore, UAVs are also envisioned to be part of future airspace traffic. The application functions delivery relies on information exchange among UAVs as well as between UAVs and ground stations (GSs), which further closely depends on aeronautical channels. However, there is a paucity of comprehensive surveys on aeronautical channel modeling in line with the specific aeronautical characteristics and scenarios. To fill this gap, this paper focuses on reviewing the air-to-ground (A2G), ground-to-ground (G2G), and air-toair (A2A) channel measurements and modeling for UAV communications and aeronautical communications under various scenarios. We also provide the design guideline for managing the link budget of UAV communications taking account of link losses and channel fading effects. Moreover, we also analyze the receive/transmit diversity gain and spatial multiplexing gain achieved by multiple-antenna-aided UAV communications. Finally, we discuss the remaining challenge and open issues for the future development of UAV communication channel modeling.

“…Measurement campaigns suggest that SS-fading is usually Rayleigh or Nakagami distributed. Most of the time, published work uses a statistical approach, whereas [66] proposes to use a Ray-tracing tool to model the channel.…”

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/or video streaming (surveillance, broadcasting) and Aerial Base Station (ABS) can enhance coverage, capacity and energy efficiency of wireless networks. In both cases, UAV-based solutions are scalable, mobile, easy and fast to deploy. However, several technical challenges have to be addressed before such solutions will become widely used. 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 is intended to serve as a tutorial for wireless communication with UAVs, which 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
