“…In the same article, research challenges and future directions for further improvement, as well as architecture, are also discussed. Han et al [47] looked at 5G communication networks and mobile edge computing (MEC) as viable technologies for supporting UAV-enabled ecosystems and overcoming fundamental UAV network problems including limited computation, storage, and coverage. They also debated the 5G and MEC alternatives, outlining the latest advances and attempting to address some of the critical problems.…”

Fifth-generation (5G) cellular networks have led to the implementation of beyond 5G (B5G) networks, which are capable of incorporating autonomous services to swarm of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). They provide capacity expansion strategies to address massive connectivity issues and guarantee ultra-high throughput and low latency, especially in extreme or emergency situations where network density, bandwidth, and traffic patterns fluctuate. On the one hand, 6G technology integrates AI/ML, IoT, and blockchain to establish ultra-reliable, intelligent, secure, and ubiquitous UAV networks. 6G networks, on the other hand, rely on new enabling technologies such as air interface and transmission technologies, as well as a unique network design, posing new challenges for the swarm of UAVs.Keeping these challenges in mind, this article focuses on the security and privacy, intelligence, and energy-efficiency issues faced by swarms of UAVs operating in 6G mobile network. In this state-of-the-art review, we integrated blockchain and AI/ML with UAV networks utilizing the 6G ecosystem. The key findings are then presented, and potential research challenges are identified. We conclude the review by shedding light on future research in this emerging field of research.

“…4) Hot air balloon/UAV/Drone: The flying antenna system between the backhaul network and the access network works as a base station in the air. The research in [7], [54], [55], [84] shows the application of hot air balloons/UAV/Drone for digital connectivity in hard-to-reach areas due to topographical challenges and emergency services. The cost of the network is highly dependent on the number of drones required to support the use-cases.…”

Rural connectivity has been a widely researched topic for several years. In India, around 50% of the population have poor or no connectivity to access digital services. Numerous technological solutions are being tested around the world, as well as in India. The key driving factor for reducing the digital divide is to lower the cost of network deployments and improve service adoption rate by exploring different technological and economical solutions. This survey aims to study rural connectivity and create awareness about the use-cases, state of the art projects and initiatives, challenges, and technologies to improve digital connectivity in rural parts of India. The strengths and weaknesses of different technologies tested for rural connectivity are analysed. The study includes a brief discussion of rural connectivity trials performed in India and around the world. We also explore the rural use-case of the 6G communication system, which would suit the rural Indian scenario.

“…To better understand the new remote e-Health paradigm, we must first understand the technologies that enable it, being 5G one of the main contributors. As previously stated, 5G is the new generation of wireless technology that promises faster transmission speed, lower latency, and reliable connectivity [3]. The network improvements are crucial for enabling e-Health applications.…”

“…These main characteristics, together with the 5G technology, enable new applications that were previously incapable. As Han et al [3] described, with 5G and IoD, internetworking between drones and ground base stations (GBS) enables greater coverage. By working as flying and highly mobile nodes, they extend GBS communication reach.…”
