  • Summary

    This chapter provides a broad overview on several key applications and use cases of UAVs in various wireless networking scenarios. For the role of a UAV base station, we focus on the use of UAVs in a variety of applications, includingpublic safety, the Internet of Things, caching, edge computing, and smart cities. Then, we discuss a handful of important applications for UAV user equipment, and we show how these applications require UAV users to connect to ground cellular networks. While discussing the various applications, we also provide an in-depth exposition of the associated communications and networking challenges in each application.

  • A thorough treatment of UAV wireless communications and networking research challenges and opportunities. Detailed, step-by-step development of carefully selected research problems that pertain to UAV network performance analysis and optimization, physical layer design, trajectory path planning, resource management, multiple access, cooperative communications, standardization, control, and security is provided. Featuring discussion of practical applications including drone delivery systems, public safety, IoT, virtual reality, and smart cities, this is an essential tool for researchers, students, and engineers interested in broadening their knowledge of the deployment and operation of communication systems that integrate or rely on unmanned aerial vehicles.
