Abstract
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles have been widely used in many scenarios, and several kinds of wireless communication methods are adopted for UAV monitoring and remote control, e.g. satellite communication, WiFi communication and cellular communication. During the wireless communication solutions mentioned above cellular method is considered as a potentially dominant solution due to the wide deployment and low cost advantage. In this paper we present the latest industry research and standardization progress in cellular communication solution for UAV application from 3GPP. Two technical issues are observed, i.e. high neighbour cell interference and frequent handover, and based on the analysis three kinds of enhancement for current cellular network are proposed, i.e. flight path information reporting, virtual cell solution and dedicated base station.
