Electrification turned over a new leaf in aviation by introducing new types of aerial vehicles along with new means of transportation. Addressing a plethora of use cases, drones are gaining attention in the industry and increasingly appear in the sky. Emerging concepts of flying taxi enable passengers to be transported over several tens of kilometers. Therefore, unmanned traffic management systems are under development to cope with the complexity of future airspace, thereby resulting in unprecedented communication needs. Moreover, the long-term increase in the number of commercial airplanes pushes the limits of voice-oriented communications, and future options such as single-pilot operations demand robust connectivity. In this survey, we provide a comprehensive review and vision for enabling the connectivity applications of aerial vehicles utilizing current and future communication technologies. We begin by categorizing the connectivity use cases per aerial vehicle and analyzing their connectivity requirements. By reviewing more than 500 related studies, we aim for a comprehensive approach to cover wireless communication technologies, and provide an overview of recent findings from the literature toward the possibilities and challenges of employing the wireless communication standards. After analyzing the proposed network architectures, we list the open-source testbed platforms to facilitate future investigations by researchers. This study helped us observe that while numerous works focused on cellular technologies to enable connectivity for aerial platforms, a single wireless technology is not sufficient to meet the stringent connectivity demands of the aerial use cases, especially for the piloting operations. We identified the need of further investigations on multi-technology heterogeneous network architectures to enable robust and real-time connectivity in the sky. Future works should consider suitable technology combinations to develop unified aerial networks that can meet the diverse quality of service demands of the aerial use cases.

“…In [196], the authors aim at minimizing the energy consumption of UAVs by partly offloading their tasks to a MEC-enabled ground BSs. Other studies rather utilize UAVs to support the ground networks, such as MEC-enabled UAVs to meet the latency demands of ground UEs [194], [195], or UAVs as cache servers [258].…”

“…These services impose a wider range of performance and cost requirements onto the legacy networks [1]. The three main categories of services, i.e, Enhanced Mobile Broadband Connectivity (eMBB), Massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC) and Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communication (URLLC), prioritize high-speed and capacity, high density support and reliability, and low latency for service provisioning, respectively [2].…”

“…However, a proper planning and deployment approach is essential to fully meet the goals of the above architectures. Moreover, to realize the requirements of some of the services, it is envisioned that the components (RU, DU and CU) are to be placed in multi-access edge computing [2] clouds/servers distributed closer to the end user. To realize the ORAN architecture's future vision, an adequate design and deployment and management plan is essential.…”

The fifth-generation (5G) of mobile networks and beyond is to host a variety of services for industry verticals with a diverse range of requirements. Network slicing (NS) is considered to be the fundamental enabling technology to address legacy networks' shortcoming, by tailoring logical virtual networks, called network slices, over the same infrastructure. Adopting the concepts of virtualization and open interfaces, Virtual radio access networks (vRAN) and Open RAN (ORAN) are two of the most promising architectures proposed for slicing radio access networks. To realize the efficient deployment (i.e. increase flexibility, scalability ,and decreased CAPEX and OPEX) of these architectures, a proper network planning approach is essential. This paper introduces a novel approach to planning and design of the ORAN architecture that takes into account QoS, CAPEX, OPEX and the transport network, simultaneously. The ORAN slice planning and design is formulated as a multi-objective optimization with binary variables and solved by simulated annealing.This paper provides a comprehensive discussion of the results. The proposed approach can be used in designing 5G ORAN network slices but also can be used as a transition network solution to integrate the 4G tier together with 5G for enabling a smooth and less costly transition.
