Applications and Energy Modelling of UAVs in Mobile Networks

Abstract

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, have emerged as transformative tools for enhancing mobile network capabilities. With the rise of 5G networks and the impending implementation of 6G, UAVs play a crucial role in expanding coverage, enhancing connectivity, and facilitating communication in challenging environments. This paper reviews some of the applications of UAVs in mobile networks and, their significance in low-power communication systems. Further arithmetic modelling of energy consumption is also discussed, including ongoing research and technological developments.
