Field Trial of UAV flight with Communication and Control through 5G cellular network

In the last few years UAVs have progressed considerably in terms of applications, moving beyond entertaining activities and use. Taking into account that the use of the UAVs is expected to be increased significantly in the forthcoming years, it is deemed necessary to adopt innovative communication technologies and features, towards the support and provision of reliable and secure command and control, as well as for the transmission of high data rates that specific UAVs’ missions require. To this end, the combination of UAVs and 5G cellular networks is a promising approach for the effective opening of new fields of operation. This paper provides an overview of the 5G technology and its main characteristics as well its relationship with the communication aspects of UAVs. Moreover, it presents field trial results and measurements towards delivering the command and control of a UAV over 5G cellular network.
