Abstract
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are aircrafts piloted by remote control or embedded programs without human onboard. During the 1930s, the US Navy began to experiment with radio-controlled UAVs. From the 1990s, micro UAVs started to be widely used in public and civilian applications. Recently, due to the ease of deployment, low acquisition and maintenance costs, high maneuverability, and ability to hover, UAVs have been widely used in civil and commercial applications (Gupta et al., IEEE Commun Surv Tutorials 18:1123–1152, 2016). However, traditional UAV research has typically focused on navigation Nikolos et al. (IEEE Trans Syst Man Cybern B Cybern 33:898–912, 2003) and autonomy Wang et al., (IEEE Trans Control Syst Technol 15:672–679, 2007), as it is motivated by the military oriented applications. In contrast, this book will focus on sensing, communication, and learning for UAV applications over future cellular networks.

Since both fixed-wing and rotary-wing UAVs will receive these four forces, this model can be used by any one type of UAVs.
