Chapter 9: Multi-Vehicle Communication and Intelligent Networking
UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) communication constitutes a vital component of 6G wireless communication networks, significantly enhancing UAV mission efficiency and broadening the reach of wireless networks. Unlike terrestrial communication scenarios, UAV communication presents unique channel characteristics due to its operational environment. Since most UAVs (aside from certain high-altitude military models) typically operate at low altitudes close to the Earth's surface, UAV communications exhibit distinct attributes compared with other communication systems.
Compared to mobile communication systems, UAV communication features rapid mobility, meaning the communication environment is in constant flux and requires higher communication stability. Compared to satellite communication systems, most UAVs communicate at lower altitudes, cover smaller areas, and encounter variable geographical environments that affect signal positioning, requiring swift adaptation to diverse surface conditions.
When employed for relay communication, UAVs offer inherent advantages including convenient deployment, strong mobility, superior performance, and flexible control. The communication platform can be swiftly upgraded with easily adaptable equipment. Compared to traditional mobile systems, UAV relay communication has much shorter deployment cycles and lower costs. Compared to satellite systems, it delivers reduced latency and greater cost-effectiveness.
In summary, UAV relay communication leverages unique advantages in agility, adaptability, and economic feasibility to address the challenges posed by rapidly changing environments and coverage requirements in modern communication scenarios.
