Modern possibilities of managing mobile telecommunication networks using unmanned aerial vehicles

Abstract

The paper considers the scenarios of retransmission communication using unmanned aerial vehicles as one of the methods of telecommunication, where the author found that modern methods of managing mobile telecommunication networks require the involvement of unmanned aerial vehicles in order to improve the connection and transmission of information over long distances. The purpose of this study is to investigate the current capabilities of mobile telecommunication networks based on retransmission connections with unmanned aerial vehicles to analyse the use of UAVs in four retransmission scenarios. The paper explores the possibilities and prospects of using unmanned aerial vehicles for signal retransmission in telecommunications networks, where the advantages of using unmanned aerial vehicles to create temporary retransmission nodes in case of emergencies, natural disasters, etc. are substantiated. Some issues of signal stability and coverage are described, and the possibilities of integrating UAV repeaters into the existing infrastructure of mobile networks are analysed, taking into account the requirements for bandwidth and minimising data transmission delays. According to the communication needs, the author characterised and classified four different scenarios of using retransmission communication in combination with unmanned aerial vehicles. In addition, the article also identifies the issues and challenges of retransmission communications with unmanned aerial vehicles in comparison with traditional retransmission communications. Based on the analysis of the application of UAV retransmission scenarios, the article notes that one of the significant drawbacks is the optimisation of the UAV trajectory, which may affect the quality of information received through telecommunications
