Technical Loopholes and Trends in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Communication Systems

Abstract

Advancements in technology have positioned Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) as current and future computational paradigms. This novel artificial intelligence tool facilitates various applications, including communication, sports, real-time data collection in agriculture, and commercial purposes. Even though UAVs were much known for military usage in navigating hard-to-reach areas and hostile environments for physical human interaction. Considering UAV's application in communications, the maximum adaption of diversity combination properties has been used for some years ago, facing the Bit Error Rate (BER) of selective combing, maximal ratio combining, equal gain combining, direct combining, selective combining, BER of Rayleigh, and Ricean approach. This paper surveys models and current UAV systems to analyze the most common technologies in UAV diversity, combining Rayleigh and Ricean based on the diversity combination properties. Based on the survey, the existing proposed models have not depicted the most reliable and effective model for adopting Rayleigh or Ricean in UAV communication systems and UAV-associated concerns.
