Preliminary measurements for wireless relay network using UAS

This paper presents a preliminary measurement result for a wireless relay network using small unmanned aircraft system (UAS). We consider the scenario where the UA circles above around the networks automatically and bridges the signals between ground access points (GAPs) of the distant networks. In particular, the two flight scenario of UAS are assumed in this preliminary measurement. The fading parameters and the frequency correlation values are evaluated from the results of the preliminary measurement. Consequently, it is shown that the fading parameter and the frequency correlation depend on the flight scenario.
