摘要

在地面物联网基础设施缺失的环境下，基于无人机的无线通信平台为物联网传感器节点提供了有效的低成本无线连接。与地面物联网通信平台相比，低空无人机无线通信系统具有部署速度快、成本低、可按需部署、配置灵活以及短范围视距连接带来的通信信道质量更好等优点。另一方面，无人机的高移动性、能量受限等特点给无人机物联网无线通信带来新的挑战。研究了物联网场景下的无人机无线通信技术，描述了无人机空—地信道特性和功率消耗模型，重点介绍了无人机在物联网数据分发/收集、数据中继等方面的应用、机会和方法。

Abstract

In the absence of terrestrial infrastructure for Internet of things (IoT)

an effective low-cost wireless connection can be provided by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) based wireless communication platform.Compared with the terrestrial IoT communication platform

the low-altitude UAV wireless communication system enjoys the advantage of rapid deployment

low cost

on-demand deployment

flexible configuration and better communication channel quality due to short-range line-of-sight links.On the other hand

several new challenges must be overcome due to the high mobility and energy consumption limitations of UAV.An overview of UAV enabled IoT wireless communication was provided

including the air-to-ground channel model

the power consumption model

as well as the applications in UAV based data dissemination/collection and relay

with particular reference to the new opportunities and solutions in these application areas.
