论文摘要
无人飞机系统(UAS)由无人驾驶汽车(UAV)及其控制器组成,该控制器使用无线电进行通信。尽管遥控器(RC)传统上是由一个通过其控制的无人机来维持视觉线路的人进行的,但趋势正在朝着远程控制和自主操作方向迈进。为了实现这一点,需要可靠且可广泛可用的无线连接,因为它是手动控制无人机或控制自主无人机飞行的唯一方法。本文调查了正在进行的第三代合伙项目(3GPP)标准化活动,以实现网络UASS。特别是,我们提出了要求,设想的架构和服务将提供给/由UAV和RCS提供,它们将与UAS流量管理(UTM)以及其他用户通过蜂窝网络相互通信。关键研究方向与安全和频谱共存有关。我们确定将推动蜂窝通信网络和应用程序的标准化的主要R \&D平台。
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.
