论文摘要
当前的第五代（5G）蜂窝网络主要集中在陆地场景上。由于难以在海洋上部署通信基础设施，因此现有的海上通信网络（MCNS）的性能远远落后于5G。可以通过使用无人驾驶汽车（UAV）作为敏捷的航空平台来解决此问题，以实现按需海上覆盖范围，以补充海洋卫星和基于海岸的基于陆地的站点（TBSS）。在本文中，我们研究了无人机与现有MCN的整合，并研究了混合卫星-UAV-uav-terrestrial网络的潜在收益，以实现海上覆盖。与陆地场景不同，海洋上的船只保持在海上车道上，并且分布稀少。这为简化无人机的安排提供了新的机会。同样，由于海上progatime的前期环境以及无人机和现有卫星/TBSS之间的相互干扰，出现了新的挑战。我们讨论这些问题并显示了考虑实用限制的可能解决方案。
Current fifth generation (5G) cellular networks mainly focus on the terrestrial scenario. Due to the difficulty of deploying communications infrastructure on the ocean, the performance of existing maritime communication networks (MCNs) is far behind 5G. This problem can be solved by using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as agile aerial platforms to enable on-demand maritime coverage, as a supplement to marine satellites and shore-based terrestrial based stations (TBSs). In this paper, we study the integration of UAVs with existing MCNs, and investigate the potential gains of hybrid satellite-UAV-terrestrial networks for maritime coverage. Unlike the terrestrial scenario, vessels on the ocean keep to sea lanes and are sparsely distributed. This provides new opportunities to ease the scheduling of UAVs. Also, new challenges arise due to the more complicated maritime prorogation environment, as well as the mutual interference between UAVs and existing satellites/TBSs. We discuss these issues and show possible solutions considering practical constraints.
