论文摘要
本文概述了增强的网络服务，同时强调无人机（UAV）作为具有无线电和回程功能的核心网络设备的作用。最初，我们详细阐述了各种部署选项，重点是空降广播，回程和核心网络设备，指出了好处和限制。然后，我们分析基于服务的架构（SBA）中所需的增强功能，以支持无人机服务，包括无人机导航和空中交通管理，天气预报和无人机连接管理。考虑到对车辆应用的影响，通过定性手段评估了空降无人机网络服务。最后，通过测试床实现进行了评估，以探索无人机作为边缘云节点的性能，托管负责控制和编排无人机车队的空中控制系统（ACS）功能。
This paper provides an overview of enhanced network services, while emphasizing on the role of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) as core network equipment with radio and backhaul capabilities. Initially, we elaborate the various deployment options, focusing on UAVs as airborne radio, backhaul and core network equipment, pointing out the benefits and limitations. We then analyze the required enhancements in the Service-Based Architecture (SBA) to support UAV services including UAV navigation and air traffic management, weather forecasting and UAV connectivity management. The use of airborne UAVs network services is assessed via qualitative means, considering the impact on vehicular applications. Finally, an evaluation has been conducted via a testbed implementation, to explore the performance of UAVs as edge cloud nodes, hosting an Aerial Control System (ACS) function responsible for the control and orchestration of a UAV fleet.
