5G/6G Networks in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Internet of Things Communication Systems
Description
The world is heading towards a new revolution which will create a data-driven, digitalized, and intelligent environment. Overall mobile data traffic will reach an extensive range by 2030 and addressing this traffic load is a challenging task. Evolving 5G/6G networks will create a modern transformation in the technological world, impacting everyday life, as future the demands of 5G/6G promise end-to-end quality of service that comprises performance, latency, flexibility, density of devices, infrastructure, and high speed, all to be achieved with high cost-effectiveness. Reliable and robust communication networks are necessary for public protection.
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are broadly approached in diverse Internet of Things (IoT) scenarios because of their flexible mobility and rapid on-requirement deployment, and UAVs are hoped to be an indivisible segment of the next generation of wireless communication networks. Employing UAVs with respect to diverse communication applications is anticipated to enhance inclusion and spectral efficiency, which also leads to numerous challenges in the network. To efficiently advance the security of the system, it is essential to analyze the confidential operation of the UAV IoT system since the transmission technologies utilized contain open features in UAV systems. In order to manage the technical requirements, the corresponding communication networks ought to be upgraded accordingly. Advances based on security and other applications in 5G/6G are predicted to implement solutions for the critical issues that have been detected in UAVs during communication purposes.
