A Solution for Aerial Network Coverage of Multiple Drone Base Stations in Emergency Scenarios
With the continuous development of unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)technology,its applications in various fields are becoming increasingly widespread.Particularly in the field of e-mergency communications,UAVs carrying communication equipment can quickly and flexibly es-tablish communication networks,achieve air-to-ground signal coverage,and provide communica-tion support for disaster relief operations.When a disaster occurs,terrestrial communication infra-structure may be damaged.Especially in the"disconnection,power outage,and network disrup-tion"tri-disruption scenario,traditional emergency communication base stations cannot reach the disaster site in the first time to provide communication and rescue support for the affected area.However,UAVs can carry 4G/5G base stations,non-line-of-sight Mesh and other equipment,and establish transmission channels through high-throughput satellites such as ChinaSat-16,China-Sat-26,and APSTAR-6D,to quickly carry out air communication networking,and provide wide-coverage and high-capacity communication services for the rescue area,ensuring smooth informa-tion between rescuers,the command center,and the affected people,and improving the efficiency of rescue and the accuracy of command decision-making.
