Using unmanned aerial vehicle as movable base stations is a promising approach to enhance network coverage. Moreover, movable unmanned aerial vehicle–base stations can dynamically move to the target devices to expand the communication range as relays in the scenario of the Internet of things. In this article, we consider a communication system with movable unmanned aerial vehicle–base stations in millimeter-Wave. The movable unmanned aerial vehicle–base stations are equipped with antennas and multiple sensors for channel tracking. The cylindrical array antenna is mounted on the movable unmanned aerial vehicle–movable base stations, making the beam omnidirectional. Furthermore, the attitude estimation method using the deep neural network can replace the traditional attitude estimation method. The estimated unmanned aerial vehicle attitude information is combined with beamforming technology to realize a reliable communication link. Simulation experiments have been performed, and the results have verified the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In the 5G era, integration between different networks is required to realize a new world of Internet of things, the most typical model is Space–Air–Ground Internet of things. In the Space–Air–Ground Internet of things, unmanned aerial vehicle network is widely used as the representative of air-based networks. Therefore, a lot of unmanned aerial vehicle “black flying” incidents have occurred. UAVs are a kind of “low, slow and small” artificial targets, which face enormous challenges in detecting, identifying, and managing them. In order to identify the “black flying” unmanned aerial vehicle, combined with the advantages of 5G millimeter wave radar and machine learning methods, the following methods are adopted in this article. For a one-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle, the radar echo data are a single-component sinusoidal frequency modulation signal. The echo signal is conjugated first and then is subjected to a short-time Fourier transform, while the micro-Doppler has a double effect. For a multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle, the radar echo data are a multi-component sinusoidal frequency modulation signal, the k-order Bessel function base and the signal are used for integral projection processing, which better identifies the micro-Doppler characteristics such as the number of rotors or the rotational speed of each rotor. The noise interference is added to verify that the algorithm has better robustness. The micro-Doppler characteristics of rotor unmanned aerial vehicles are extracted by the above algorithm, and the data sets are built to train the model. Finally, the classification of unmanned aerial vehicle is realized, and the classification results are given. The research in this article provides an effective solution to solve the problem of detecting and identifying unmanned aerial vehicle by 5G millimeter wave radar in the Internet of Things, which has high practical application value.

Abstract Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) enabled communication system provides flexibility and reliability compared to conventional ones. Millimeter wave and massive MIMO have widely been researched since recent years, which are promising techniques for the next and even the later generation communication system. Hybrid precoding, as a method to reduce the high cost in hardware and power brought by massive antenna array, develops fiercely and is often combined to deep learning, a kind of popular optimization tool, which brings overwhelming performance. On the other hand, there are not so many attentions about the hybrid precoding in time-varying millimeter wave massive MIMO, which is necessary to be considered in a UAV-enabled communication scenario because the performance will degrade seriously if the channel changed while the transmitter and receiver use the precoding matrix corresponding to the expired channel, yet. In this paper, we propose a double-pilot-based hybrid precoding system, which completes analog precoding and digital precoding separately--predicting the previous one using deep learning structure and updating equivalent channel frequently for the post one by enhancing the frequency of equivalent channel estimation.
