AIR-TO-GROUND CHANNEL MODELING FOR UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES

Abstract

The ‘Air-to-Ground Channel Modeling for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles’ main goal is to develop a precise and reliable model of the communication channel between unmanned aerial vehicles and ground stations. This project will be mainly focused on the extensive research of recent data and channel simulation using MATLAB. The project will analyze different scenarios and characteristics that may have an impact on the proper work of the channel and find ways to overcome those difficulties. These obstacles can be channel fading, polarization, weather conditions, and hard-to-reach locations. The proposed channel modeling can be beneficial in different spheres of life: safety, surveillance, telecommunication, and national priorities. Overall, the project’s main focus will be based on the enhancement of analytical skills in order to select major types of channel modeling and see the advantages and disadvantages of the proposed model. The results can have a positive impact through the contribution to the advancement of UAV technologies.
