Simulation-Based Enhancement of SNR in Drone Communication through Uniform Linear Array Configurations

Abstract

As drones navigate through shared airspace, they often encounter other drones, wireless devices, and communication systems. This coexistence creates potential sources of interference that can degrade the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). To maintain reliable communication in drone systems, it is crucial to effectively manage and mitigate interference from other drones and wireless devices operating on the same frequency bands. By addressing these challenges, we can ensure a stable and dependable SNR for seamless communication among drones. This paper sheds light on the history of applications and challenges of utilizing flying base stations for wireless networks and analyzes different factors that affect signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) to enhance the performance of drone communication.
