Integration of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in Wireless Communication and Networks

This book presents a comprehensive overview of Unmanned Arial Vehicles (UAV) and their integration of wireless communications and networks, including inherent challenges and open access concerns. The authors present the latest technologies associated with UAV-assisted wireless communications and networks by linking their association with 5G Wireless Networks. The authors include positioning of UAV, coagulation attack of UAV, and the green prospective of UAV communication systems. The book explains how the UAV can be integrated with 5G wireless schemes such as ultra-reliable, low density communications, full duplex, and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) for 5G. This book targets graduate students, researchers, and industry personnel.

• Present the technologies associated with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) assisted wireless communications and networks
• Discusses UAV and the integration to 5G and beyond technologies

• Contains solved examples and step-by-step instructions of the derivations and highlights future direction and open challenges
