Urban and rural base station communication maintenance

Do aerial base stations provide reliable coverage in far-flung areas?

Contextually, we focus on one of the most promising solutions to provide sufficient and reliable coverage in far-flung areas: aerial base stations (ABSs), which consist of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) carrying cellular BS equipment.

Should mmwaves be deployed in urban areas?

It is difficult for mmWaves to penetrate buildings in urban areas; thus, more BSs must be deployed in areas with densely distributed buildings to achieve satisfactory service coverage. The ultra-dense deployment of 5G BSs in urban outdoor areas requires considerable investments and will greatly increase energy consumption.

Who supports the research in urban land resources monitoring & simulation?

This research was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant No. 41971336), the Open Fund of the Key Laboratory of Urban Land Resources Monitoring and Simulation, Ministry of Natural Resources (Grant No. KF-2018-03-033) and the National key research and development program (Grant No. 2018YFD1100801).

Are more BSS required in areas with densely distributed buildings?

Another interesting result is that as p increases, more BSs are deployed in the southern and northwestern parts of the study area where buildings are densely distributed. In other words, more BSs are required in areas with densely distributed buildings to improve service coverage.
