“…There exist numerous recent publications that study various problems of UAV surveillance of ground targets and areas. The papers [11] and [13] propose various UAV video surveillance strategies that are based on Voronoi partitioning groups of moving cars or pedestrians and navigating UAVs towards centres of Voronoi cells. Fast path planning schemes for a single UAV tracking targets were proposed in [18], [19].…”

“…To better illustrate the performance, we consider two benchmark methods. One is based on Voronoi partitioning [11], [13], and the other is the standoff tracking method, i.e., the UAV team stays away from the targets by a certain distance. The basic idea of the first method is to first partition the targets into some groups according to their positions and the positions of UAVs and then drive the UAVs towards the centres of the groups.…”

This paper firstly analyzes the network topology model of the UAV cluster network and wireless 5G communication channel model by modeling and briefly analyzes the idea of topology movement control for flying self-organized networks. Then, a cluster-based structure and reinforcement learning clustered routing protocol is proposed for the problem of easy breakage of routing forwarding paths caused by smart inspection of transmission lines based on UAV clusters for 5G communication. Finally, a cluster structure-based precedence routing protocol is designed, an adaptive routing protocol based on location and link quality Q-learning is used between clusters, and fast and reliable routing is achieved by combining the routing table maintained by itself. The simulation results show that ARP-L-Q (average end-to-end delay 4.22, average packet loss rate 88.09%, average packet rate 2.37, average control overhead 2.52) protocol performs better than GPSR and GACB protocols, and the experiment verifies that ARP-L-Q protocol can better achieve the high dynamic reconfiguration, high stability and reliability, and low communication delay of UAV cluster-based 5G communication network. Characteristics and requirements. This study has application prospects in both civil emergency and military mobile communication and has certain military significance, theoretical value and application value for thus promoting UAV innovation.

The use of drones, formally known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), has significantly increased across a variety of applications over the past few years. This is due to the rapid advancement towards the design and production of inexpensive and dependable UAVs and the growing request for the utilization of such platforms particularly in civil applications. With their intrinsic attributes such as high mobility, rapid deployment and flexible altitude, UAVs have the potential to be utilized in many wireless system applications. On the one hand, UAVs are able to operate as flying mobile terminals within wireless/cellular networks to support a variety of missions such as goods delivery, search and rescue, precision agriculture monitoring, and remote sensing. On the other hand, UAVs can be utilized as aerial base stations to increase wireless communication coverage, reliability, and the capacity of wireless systems without additional investment in wireless systems infrastructure. The aim of this article is to review the current applications of UAVs for civil and commercial purposes. The focus of this paper is on the challenges and communication requirements associated with UAV-based communication systems. This article initially classifies UAVs in terms of various parameters, some of which can impact UAVs' communication performance. It then provides an overview of aerial networking and investigates UAVs routing protocols specifically, which are considered as one of the challenges in UAV communication. This article later investigates the use of UAV networks in a variety of civil applications and considers many challenges and communication demands of these applications. Subsequently, different types of simulation platforms are investigated from a communication and networking viewpoint. Finally, it identifies areas of future research.
