Developing an Intelligent Cellular Structure Design for a UAV Wireless Communication Topology

Abstract

In the current digital era, where Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), Artificial intelligence (AI), and Internet of Everything (IoE) can be well integrated, more global connectivity and automated solutions can be witnessed. This paper aims to develop an intelligent cellular structure design for a UAV wireless communication topology using an AI framework. The proposed AI framework includes Self Organizing Maps (SOMs) and an NN fitting tool that can be simulated using the Graphical User Interface (GUI) toolbox in MATLAB. The proposed framework is validated in a proof-of-concept scenario, where various parameters of link budget and cellular structure design have been tuned to achieve an efficient and optimized automatic design. The obtained results show high levels of adaptable wireless communication predictions without human intervention, which is a noticeable shift from existing work in the literature.
