Advanced Air-to-Ground Network Design for Low-Altitude Economy
Project Description
The Low-Altitude Economy (LAE) utilizes aerial vehicles to extend human transportation capabilities into low-altitude spaces, enabling environmental monitoring, rapid emergency response, item delivery, and more. Achieving this vision requires Air-to-Ground (A2G) wireless communication systems with high reliability, ultra-low latency, and extended range to ensure a robust command and control (C2) link, as well as support various application data.
This project explores cutting-edge wireless network technologies, such as 5G-Advanced (5G-A) and LoRa, through theoretical research and hands-on experiments. Participants will contribute to developing innovative techniques that advance A2G systems, paving the way for practical LAE applications. Moreover, the developed A2G system will be applied to UAVs in real-world scenarios to demonstrate its potential in supporting LAE.
