The book discusses how Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) can leverage the sub-6 GHz massive MIMO to address cell selection and interference issues in future wireless networks. The book takes a close look at utilizing UAVs to achieving direct and efficient device-to device (D2D) communications in the sky. Also, the key 6G enablers (cell-free architectures, artificial intelligence, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces, THz communications, and non-terrestrial networks) for UAV communication are broached, and the primary technological challenges of each enabler are discussed extensively. Furthermore, the book covers the design of adaptable UAVs to operate in diverse and harsh environmental conditions. Additionally, the existing UAVs’ networking protocols and how these can be greatly enhanced to address the issue of intermittent network changes and channel impairments are discussed. The prospects and societal benefits envisioned in future UAVs are also presented.
