How 5G technology can support the demands of multiple vertical industries

Recent advances in technologyhave created new vertical industries that are highly dependent on the availability and reliability of data between multiple locations. The 5G system, unlike previous generations, will be entirely data driven—addressing latency, resilience, connection density, coverage area, and other vertical industry criteria. Enabling 5G Communication Systems to Support Vertical Industries demonstrates how 5G communication systems can meet the needs unique to vertical industries for efficient, cost-effective delivery of service. Covering both theory and practice, this book explores solutions to problems in specific industrial sectors including smart transportation, smart agriculture, smart grid, environmental monitoring, and disaster management.

The 5G communication system will have to provide customized solutions to accommodate each vertical industry's specific requirements. Whether an industry practitioner designingthe next generation of wireless communications or a researcher needing to identify open issues and classify their research, this timely book:

• Covers the much-discussed topics of supporting multiple vertical industries and new ICT challenges
• Addresses emerging issues and real-world problems surrounding 5G technology in wireless communication and networking
• Explores a comprehensive array of essential topics such as connected health, smart transport, smart manufacturing, and more
• Presents important topics in a clear, concise style suitable for new learners and professionals alike
• Includes contributions from experts and industry leaders, system diagrams, charts, tables, and examples

Enabling 5G Communication Systems to Support Vertical Industries is a valuable resource telecom engineers industry professionals, researchers, professors, doctorate, and postgraduate students requiring up-to-date information on supporting vertical industries with 5G technology systems.

Towards Realistic Modelling of Drone‐based Cellular Network Coverage

Haneya Naeem Qureshi and Ali Imran

The demand for more diverse, flexible, accessible and resilient broadband service with higher capacity and coverage is on the rise. Some of these requirements can be accomplished with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) acting as aerial base stations. This is because of the several advantages UAV‐based communication offers, such as higher likelihood of line‐of‐sight (LoS) path and less scatter and signal absorption as compared to terrestrial systems [1,2]. Moreover, the demand for increase in capacity is leading towards deployment of small cells in terrestrial networks, resulting in the need for higher cell counts, leading to far larger number of ground sites. This makes the goal of attaining seamless coverage over a wide geographical area through terrestrial systems unfeasible due to limited availability of suitable sites and local regulations. This challenge is likely to aggravate with advent of even smaller mmWave cells offering even more sporadic coverage [3].

Similarly, satellite networks have their own limitations such as high latency, high propagation loss, limited orbit space and high launching costs. On the contrary, UAVs can be deployed quickly with much more flexibility to move from one point to another, which is a desirable feature for rapid, on‐demand or emergency communications [4].

UAVs can thus be seen as potential enablers to meet the several challenges of next generation wireless systems by either functioning as complementary architecture with already existing cellular networks to compensate for cell overload during peak times and emergency situations [5,6] or by ...
