To provide high data rate aerial links for 5G and beyond wireless networks, the integration of free-space optical (FSO) communications and aerial platforms has been recently suggested as a practical solution. To fully reap the benefit of aerial-based FSO systems, in this paper, an analytical channel model for a long-range ground-to-air FSO link under the assumption of plane wave optical beam profile at the receiver is derived. Particularly, the model includes the combined effects of transmitter divergence angle, random wobbling of the receiver, jitter due to beam wander, attenuation loss, and atmospheric turbulence. Furthermore, a closed-form expression for the outage probability of the considered link is derived which makes it possible to evaluate the performance of such systems. Numerical results are then provided to corroborate the accuracy of the proposed analytical expressions and to prove the superiority of the proposed channel model over the previous models in long-range aerial FSO links.

Due to the decrease in cost, size and weight, acp{UAV} are becoming more and more popular for general-purpose civil and commercial applications. Provision of communication services to acp{UAV} both for user data and control messaging by using off-the
-shelf terrestrial cellular deployments introduces several technical challenges. In this paper, an approach to the air-to-ground channel characterization for low-height acp{UAV} based on an extensive measurement campaign is proposed, giving special attention to the comparison of the results when a typical directional antenna for network deployments is used and when a quasi-omnidirectional one is considered. Channel characteristics like path loss, shadow fading, root mean square delay and Doppler frequency spreads and the K-factor are statistically characterized for different suburban scenarios.
Cellular-connected unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have recently attracted a surge of interest in both academia and industry. Understanding the air-to-ground (A2G) propagation channels is essential to enable reliable and/or high-throughput communicat
ions for UAVs and protect the ground user equipments (UEs). In this contribution, a recently conducted measurement campaign for the A2G channels is introduced. A uniform circular array (UCA) with 16 antenna elements was employed to collect the downlink signals of two different Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks, at the heights of 0-40m in three different, namely rural, urban and industrial scenarios. The channel impulse responses (CIRs) have been extracted from the received data, and the spatial/angular parameters of the multipath components in individual channels were estimated according to a high-resolution-parameter estimation (HRPE) principle. Based on the HRPE results, clusters of multipath components were further identified. Finally, comprehensive spatial channel characteristics were investigated in the composite and cluster levels at different heights in the three scenarios.
With the deep integration between the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and wireless communication, UAV-based air-to-ground (AG) propagation channels need more detailed descriptions and accurate models. In this paper, we aim to perform cluster-based char
acterization and modeling for AG channels. To our best knowledge, this is the first study that concentrates on the clustering and tracking of multipath components (MPCs) for time-varying AG channels. Based on measurement data at 6.5 GHz with 500 MHz of bandwidth, we first estimate potential MPCs utilizing the space-alternating generalized expectation-maximization (SAGE) algorithm. Then, we cluster the extracted MPCs considering their static and dynamic characteristics by employing K-Power-Means (KPM) algorithm under multipath component distance (MCD) measure. For characterizing time-variant clusters, we exploit a clustering-based tracking (CBT) method, which efficiently quantifies the survival lengths of clusters. Ultimately, we establish a cluster-based channel model, and validations illustrate the accuracy of the proposed model. This work not only promotes a better understanding of AG propagation channels but also provides a general cluster-based AG channel model with certain extensibility.
In this paper, a recently conducted measurement campaign for unmanned-aerial-vehicle (UAV) channels is introduced. The downlink signals of an in-service long-time-evolution (LTE) network which is deployed in a suburban scenario were acquired. Five ho
rizontal and five vertical flight routes were considered. The channel impulse responses (CIRs) are extracted from the received data by exploiting the cell specific signals (CRSs). Based on the CIRs, the parameters of multipath components (MPCs) are estimated by using a high-resolution algorithm derived according to the space-alternating generalized expectation-maximization (SAGE) principle. Based on the SAGE results, channel characteristics including the path loss, shadow fading, fast fading, delay spread and Doppler frequency spread are thoroughly investigated for different heights and horizontal distances, which constitute a stochastic model.
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), popularly called drones, are an important part of future wireless communications, either as user equipment that needs communication with a ground station, or as base station in a 3D network. For both the analysis of t
he useful links, and for investigation of possible interference to other ground-based nodes, an understanding of the air-to-ground channel is required. Since ground-based nodes often are equipped with antenna arrays, the channel investigations need to account for it. This study presents a massive MIMO-based air-to-ground channel sounder we have recently developed in our lab, which can perform measurements for the aforementioned requirements. After outlining the principle and functionality of the sounder, we present sample measurements that demonstrate the capabilities, and give first insights into air-to-ground massive MIMO channels in an urban environment. Our results provide a platform for future investigations and possible enhancements of massive MIMO systems.
