Networked flying platforms can be used to provide cellular coverage and capacity. Given that 5G and beyond networks are expected to be always available and highly reliable, resilience and reliability of these networks must be investigated. This paper introduces the specific features of airborne networks that influence their resilience. We then discuss how machine learning and blockchain technologies can enhance the resilience of networked flying platforms.

“…In particular, they can complement existing cellular systems in need of additional capacity, e.g. Long Term Evolution (LTE), or expand the cellular coverage and deliver internet services to remote and dedicated regions where infrastructure is not available or expensive to deploy [3]. Another attractive solution is UAVs acting as Remote Radio Head (RRH) [4].…”

In this paper, we investigate traits and tradeoffs of a system combining Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)s with Base Station (BS) or Cloud Radio Access Networks (C-RAN) for extending the terrestrial wireless coverage over the sea in emergency situations. Results for an over the sea deployment link budget show the trade-off between power consumption and throughput to meet the Search and Rescue targets.

Ultra reliable and low latency communications (uRLLC) is one of the most significant requirements for future wireless networks. The conventional terrestrial base stations cannot always provide the required uRLLC for emerging applications and scenarios, e.g., Tactile Internet services or when a large number of users get connected during an event. Therefore, multilayer airborne networks with low/medium/high altitude platforms can be deployed as an effective solution to offer capacity and coverage along with required latency and reliability for wireless networks. In this article, we propose a three layers airborne network to support the uRLLC requirement in wireless networks. Optimized link selection schemes have been provided based on Polychromatic Sets (PSets) theory to focus on the uRLLC. With the optimized link selection algorithm, multiple properties of the airborne platforms are exploited and the links are selected based on the multi-constrained requirements to support the desired performance of the airborne network. Moreover, two links distribution schemes have been proposed as distributed greedy scheme and centralized greedy scheme to demonstrate the deployment of proposed airborne network. Numerical results show that both PSets-based links distribution schemes outperform the general distribution schemes on average latency and overall reliability also known as unassociated ratio, which strongly supports the uRLLC in considered airborne networks.
