| Resumo : | The advent of the fifth generation (5G) mobile networks has drawn attention to consolidating new use cases for Advanced Air Mobility (AAM). Thus, the 5G millimeter wave (mmWave) is paving the way to revolutionize the AAM telecommunication system by providing data at high rates and in a faster and ultra-reliable manner. However, the current tradeoff between 5G in high bands (i.e., 24 GHz-40 GHz) and increased signal propagation loss makes the development of a compatible network architecture for Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM) a complex task. In this context, this study proposes a framework to evaluate 5G signal coverage to meet the telecommunication requirements imposed by AAM operations. Firstly, this study investigates an appropriate communication technology for AAM advanced systems. Then, Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (SINR) maps are simulated and compared. Then, different architecturs are evaluated in eight different scenarios to maximize 5G radio frequency by changing antenna parameters. The architectures are then explored in order to assess how the number of entities that make up the UTM environment relates to the network signal strength. Finally, a drone flight is performed with an embedded system to send flight information to an application accessible via smartphone through a mobile network. Simulations demonstrate that the proposed framework proves to be useful to evaluate different environments from the point of view of network connectivity. |
