5G and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) Use Cases

In the past few years, UAVs have evolved considerably towards real-world applications, going beyond entertaining activities. The unique features that UAVs can provide, such as flexible and easy deployment, high mobility, and mostly autonomous operation, tend to be appealing solutions in a wide variety of applications. With the number of UAVs expected to increase significantly in the forthcoming years, it is deemed mandatory to integrate innovative features of communication technologies in order to tackle several limitations and challenges that exist to date. To this end, the amalgamation of UAVs and 5G cellular networks is an auspicious solution in order to realise the full potential that the UAVs can provide as well as to effectively open up new fields of applications. The unique features that 5G cellular networks offer are utilised for supporting and providing reliable and secure UAV command and control. This chapter provides an overview of the 5G technology to support communication services for the UAV ecosystem.
