Technological Bibliography Study on UAV and IoT Wireless Communication Specification Through 5G Cellular Networks

Abstract

The growth of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) involvement in our daily life elicits currently a reliable network connection at anytime and anywhere. Robust cellular network is required for the approval of demand users' demand. In the late of last century, noticeable studies were invested in the ICT infrastructure development to meet the public and industrial needs. The evolution of mobile telecommunication has transitioned through multiple phases, from early voice-centric First-Generation (1G) systems to the data-heavy Fourth-Generation (4G) era. Currently, Fifth-Generation (5G) technology has emerged as a superior standard, prioritizing enhanced security protocols and high-speed data transmission according to nomad users. The global rollout of 5G frameworks is inherently linked to the integration of Internet-of-Things (IoT) ecosystems. Then, the design of relevant Base Stations (BSs) for communication during the urban social events constitutes a challenging problem of IoT infrastructures. Scholars have identified Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) as a versatile solution for supplementing BS infrastructure, particularly for broadening the reach and throughput of 5G deployments. In scenarios involving public safety, UAV-integrated networks function as airborne base stations, facilitating advanced technologies such as millimeter-wave signaling, IoT connectivity, and 3D Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) arrays. The review on UAV-based wireless communication system modelling by taking into account the different classes and specification with respect to the regulation of technology is synthesized. The synthesis review of UAV cellular network planning for the urban cities is reported by stating about the experiment and performance evaluation. The research works highlight the technical challenge on the UAV-BS deployed for urban social events. It can be emphasized that the study of the UAV wireless communication necessitates the modeling consideration of channel from air transmission to ground BS reception, optimal deployment and the optimization of trajectory. To guarantee the communication quality, the analysis of system performance using UAVs is based on the energy efficiency and resource management.
