Abstract:Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) play a critical role in the low-altitude economy; however, they face significant challenges in network coverage during transit. This paper investigates the characteristics and challenges of communication networks for UAV. First, we delineate typical scenarios, traffic characteristics, and the dual-layer heterogeneous network topology necessary for three-dimensional continuous coverage and network coexistence. Additionally, the paper addresses the channel characteristics and speci… Show more
