Propagation Characterization and Channel Modeling for UAV Communications
معلومات عن هذا الكتاب الإلكتروني
As the UAV technology matures rapidly, UAV communications are shifting from military development to civilian and commercial sectors. The UAV communication is widely considered as a significant and indispensable component of wireless communications. It is well known that an accurate yet easy-to-use UAV channel model is the foundation of designing a proper UAV communication system and evaluating its performance. This book also provides valuable suggestions for the design of UAV communication systems by adequately presenting the UAV propagation characterization and channel modeling.
This book is mainly written for researchers and professionals working in wireless communications. Advanced-level students majoring in computer science or electrical engineering may also find the content useful as a secondary textbook.
