论文摘要
目前对基于无人机的蜂窝部署的研究将无人机视为空中通信的空中基站。但是，他们分析了无人机覆盖半径和高度相互作用，同时省略或过度简化无人机部署的重要方面，即逼真的天线模式的效果。本文在使用现实的3D定向天线模型时解决了无人机部署问题。在不同的情况下，揭示和分析了无人机设计空间维度之间的新权衡。比较了覆盖面积对天线束宽和高度的敏感性。该分析扩展到多个无人机，并针对与先前方法相比具有多个优势的多个无人机覆盖范围提出了新的包装方案。
Current studies on Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) based cellular deployment consider UAVs as aerial base stations for air-to-ground communication. However, they analyze UAV coverage radius and altitude interplay while omitting or over-simplifying an important aspect of UAV deployment, i.e., effect of a realistic antenna pattern. This paper addresses the UAV deployment problem while using a realistic 3D directional antenna model. New trade-offs between UAV design space dimensions are revealed and analyzed in different scenarios. The sensitivity of coverage area to both antenna beamwidth and height is compared. The analysis is extended to multiple UAVs and a new packing scheme is proposed for multiple UAVs coverage that offers several advantages compared to prior approaches.
