An unmanned aircraft system (UAS) consists of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and its controller which use radios to communicate. While the remote controller (RC) is traditionally operated by a person who is maintaining visual line of sight with the UAV it controls, the trend is moving towards long-range control and autonomous operation. To enable this, reliable and widely available wireless connectivity is needed because it is the only way to manually control a UAV or take control of an autonomous UAV flight. This article surveys the ongoing Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standardization activities for enabling networked UASs. In particular, we present the requirements, envisaged architecture and services to be offered to/by UAVs and RCs, which will communicate with one another, with the UAS Traffic Management (UTM), and with other users through cellular networks. Critical research directions relate to security and spectrum coexistence, among others. We identify major R&D platforms that will drive the standardization of cellular communications networks and applications.

Due to the rapid development technologies for small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS), the supply and demand market for sUAS is expanding globally. With the great number of sUAS ready to fly in civilian airspace, an sUAS aircraft traffic management sy
stem that can guarantee the safe and efficient operation of sUAS is still at absence. In this paper, we propose a control protocol design and analysis method for sUAS traffic management (UTM) which can safely manage a large number of sUAS. The benefits of our approach are two folds: at the top level, the effort for monitoring sUAS traffic (authorities) and control/planning for each sUAS (operator/pilot) are both greatly reduced under our framework; and at the low level, the behavior of individual sUAS is guaranteed to follow the restrictions. Mathematical proofs and numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the proposed method.
Ambient backscatter communications is an emerging paradigm and a key enabler for pervasive connectivity of low-powered wireless devices. It is primarily beneficial in the Internet of things (IoT) and the situations where computing and connectivity ca
pabilities expand to sensors and miniature devices that exchange data on a low power budget. The premise of the ambient backscatter communication is to build a network of devices capable of operating in a battery-free manner by means of smart networking, radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting and power management at the granularity of individual bits and instructions. Due to this innovation in communication methods, it is essential to investigate the performance of these devices under practical constraints. To do so, this article formulates a model for wireless-powered ambient backscatter devices and derives a closed-form expression of outage probability under Rayleigh fading. Based on this expression, the article provides the power-splitting factor that balances the tradeoff between energy harvesting and achievable data rate. Our results also shed light on the complex interplay of a power-splitting factor, amount of harvested energy, and the achievable data rates.
Wireless networks have been widely deployed for many Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications, like smart cities and precision agriculture. Low Power Wide Area Networking (LPWAN) is an emerging IoT networking paradigm to meet three key requirements of I
oT applications, i.e., low cost, large scale deployment and high energy efficiency. Among all available LPWAN technologies, LoRa networking has attracted much attention from both academia and industry, since it specifies an open standard and allows us to build autonomous LPWAN networks without any third-party infrastructure. Many LoRa networks have been developed recently, e.g., managing solar plants in Carson City, Nevada, USA and power monitoring in Lyon and Grenoble, France. However, there are still many research challenges to develop practical LoRa networks, e.g., link coordination, resource allocation, reliable transmissions and security. This article provides a comprehensive survey on LoRa networks, including the technical challenges of deploying LoRa networks and recent solutions. Based on our detailed analysis of current solutions, some open issues of LoRa networking are discussed. The goal of this survey paper is to inspire more works on improving the performance of LoRa networks and enabling more practical deployments.
The ongoing surge in applications of robotics brings both opportunities and challenges for the fifth-generation (5G) and beyond (B5G) of communication networks. This article focuses on 5G/B5G-enabled terrestrial robotic communications with an emphasi
s on distinct characteristics of such communications. Firstly, signal and spatial modeling for robotic communications are presented. To elaborate further, both the benefits and challenges derived from robots mobility are discussed. As a further advance, a novel simultaneous localization and radio mapping (SLARM) framework is proposed for integrating localization and communications into robotic networks. Furthermore, dynamic trajectory design and resource allocation for both indoor and outdoor robots are provided to verify the performance of robotic communications in the context of typical robotic application scenarios.
In this paper, we consider a wireless uplink transmission scenario in which an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) serves as an aerial base station collecting data from ground users. To optimize the expected sum uplink transmit rate without any prior knowl
edge of ground users (e.g., locations, channel state information and transmit power), the trajectory planning problem is optimized via the quantum-inspired reinforcement learning (QiRL) approach. Specifically, the QiRL method adopts novel probabilistic action selection policy and new reinforcement strategy, which are inspired by the collapse phenomenon and amplitude amplification in quantum computation theory, respectively. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed QiRL solution can offer natural balancing between exploration and exploitation via ranking collapse probabilities of possible actions, compared to the traditional reinforcement learning approaches which are highly dependent on tuned exploration parameters.
