Study on channel propagation of cellular-to-UAV in a typical sub-urban environment in Malaysia
This paper presents the investigation on the usability of cellular network infrastructure to be used for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) platform. The current infrastructure is optimized for user on ground, thus it is anticipated that the connectivity is reduced if the user is located higher than the...
